Grandfather Munoz

As i sit here and reminisce of my 
joyful times as a kid I think of how 
big your Heart was and all the 
Knowledge you give.

While under your care no 
recreational landmark was far you 
took Me everywhere, From Toa Alta 
to San Juan or El Morro to Dorado I 
can still feel the Oceans Water, smell 
Coconuts in the Air even hear an old 
Man playing the Bongo.

Even if I was bad an 8 year old 
Tornado nightmare you never laid a 
Hand on Me, Instead you gave Me 
the Parental stare in return I would 
say ok Abuelito I'll be good I swear.

Many Years have passed since your 
relocation to Heaven above, In my 
Soul my Heart and my thoughts you 
are far from gone.

I wish you didn't have to leave the 
world so soon but God needed a 
General to guide his Platoon, You 
were a Leader and adored by many 
getting to Know You and meet You 
was a blessing.

You played a big role in my Life you 
solid Heart of Gold, Until the Day that 
I age to be to old, Forever in your 
Honor I shall be proud to be a 
Muñoz. ™©
