An Angel In Heaven

The feeling I have is so unreal You being gone is so surreal I'm not really sure how to feel And at times, I wonder if I can deal However, God did not make a mistake And even though it makes my heart ache I must accept the Lord's decision While I sit back and quietly envision Reuniting with my beloved grandpa While holding my heartbroken grandma I want to tell her that it'll be okay Her family's love and support is here to stay Physically, he is no longer here But listen to my words sincere Ol' Freddy lives on in all of our hearts So don't let the pain tear you apart Our tears are heavy with hurt and grief Our minds weighed down by constant disbelief Thinking he was taken too soon, too early But I know he's at those gates so pearly Never to experience suffering ever again Can I get a hallelujah and an amen? I will truly miss this wonderful man Because he never ever made me feel less than As his first grandchild, I was never there I wasn't raised to know him, much to my despair But anytime I saw ol' Freddy He always lovingly welcomed me He never made me feel like an outcast Despite not being a part of my past He always made me feel like I belonged As if I have been there all along He was a very kind man, a silly little flirt But no matter what, his heart belonged to Bird His big brown eyes, so full of life And so full of love that he had for his wife Death may have darkened his sight Death may have stolen his fight But our God says, "It'll be alright. Weeping may endure for a night But joy cometh in the morning." So listen up, Jenkins, let's stop mourning Let's rejoice because we know he's in a better place Looking down on us with his handsome smiling face From your first grandchild, I say, "I love you" And I pray we'll all be able to get through Until we meet again, no goodbyes, just a "see ya later" Until we all finally find our way to the almighty Creator.
