Miss You

We miss you so much, we count the ways,
We think about you at least once a day.

The head of the family, the man that we knew,
The soldier with courage, the one that was true.

The grandfather, the husband, the father, the brother,
The definition of love, you helped us discover.

The man who knew honesty and taught us hard work,
The memories of you , cover up the hurt.

The man who's legacy will always live on,
Some called him Grandpa or father, his friends called him, John.

We mourned your death, and celebrate your existence,
One thing you taught us , is how to be persistent.

Another thing you taught us, is family comes first,
You taught us things can always get worse.

I can not wait to see you on the other side,
These are just some feelings that we have inside.

Thank you for your love, thank you for the lessons,
When we see you in heaven, I will have so many questions.

Until that day we will hold on to your name,
Life without you , will never be the same.

The way you made us happy, over comes the pain,
Thanks to you , many things we have gained.
