All of our lives changed for good.
We’d all change it if we could.

He’d never see the next morning dew.

Grandsons

Car doors slam, country quiet broken
A race ensues… front door flies open
Dogs start barking, excitedly running

Overnight bags in a flash are dropped
Energy released can never be stopped
"Papaw! Momo! We're here!"...

My Grandma
I remember when I was young
And you were young
Now you're old
And I've been told
That you must go

Found happiness in being alive

Papaw

I open up a photo album,
Seeing your bright face
Filled with smiles, laughter and joy
gleaming with such grace

A scholar in such things
Such as farming, God and love
A savior to those whom you've given
knowledge from above
