Angel Wings

[dedicated to my grandpa - forever in my heart] A special pair of angel wings Were handed out today He left this world and flew to Jesus Forever there to stay He was a man of honor A gentleman was he The life he lived was testimony For all the world to see A husband and a father Grandfather and friend He'd have given all for his family And loved them to the end The tears we cry are not for him We know the place he's gone There's no more pain and no more tears As he sings the angels song We have many a fond memory The joy he brought was great But now he sits at the feet of Jesus Where he'll watch for us and wait Yes, a special pair of angel wings Were handed out today He left this world and flew to Jesus Forever there to stay

I love this so much! I can tell you this. Through your tribute I was allowed to see the smile on grandpa's face. It was not so much the wings that pleased him.... He smiled in recognition of your love expressed in your caring words... Jake
