Loyal

Here in the coffin my grandfather lies Through muffled breaths I release my cries Though inside my heart he never truly dies I requested a song from the angels in the skies As the choir of angels in heaven sing I heard my grandfather's doorbell ring His precious old wife was still standing there Emotionally marred she couldn't bear His death was a reality she couldn't stand But stands there she for her old man If she can stand up strong then so can I As I once said his legacy will never die As I made my way to the city square I heard the crying of many people there A handful of men stood next to his bride Worthy men of God who stood by his side The dedication to their fellow man they knew For even in death, he had the most loyal crew On horseback we rode to where his coffin layed And kneeling down to God we prayed To remember this life for him who gave Love liberty and carried these to the grave
