Your Legacy Will Live On

My grandpa's good karma blessed a lot of us

Your Legacy Will Live On

 

Let me start from the beginning,

In my eyes you were a hero

Even still, you are one by far

None remember you a zero

You spread blessings as you walked by

Happiness sprouted from your eyes

Your spirit always showed merit

No one expected the goodbyes

 

From the minute you woke daily,

To the moment you laid back down

God chose you to come here and pose

To show us how to float, not drown

You were one with ongoing faith,

You never gave into the snakes

Lying in wait, but it wasn't fate

Not perfect though, you made mistakes

 

And this was the beauty of it

You showed me I could have flaws

And treat people on the street well

You urge the book of faithful laws

In this I wish to be most like you

I will not be as religious,

But someone who can strut valor

And for this I am ambitious

 

They say your spirits get passed down

Through generations they emerge

Troubles and fumbles that happen

Are family history purge

Along time we can make fixes

Sometimes hide; but after awhile

It comes down to you and your due;

You made the legacy worthwhile
