Hapaw Frank

I hear the Preacher man say,"We're gathered here today; to honor a man, a great man...till death stole him away on a swift hand." I begin to remember how he helped make me, me. How he made me into this young woman you see. He put a glow in my smile and joy in my heart... as long as I have my memory we'll never be apart. I hear the Preacher man say,"We're gathered here today; to honor a man, a great man...till death stole him away on a swift hand." I begin to remember how that man put a twinkle in my eye... With a faint smile and tearful good bye; I pray to God then i give thanks quietly under my breath i say "I Love You Hapaw Frank" I love your Hapaw Frank may you be singing with the angels.
