It may seem that your health is fading,
But for your words of wisdom many are waiting,
My grandfather died when I was young,
For me life had just begun,
All that he had said,
Was forever planted in my head,
Words that were very few,
And that compare to nothing until I read from you,
Words that were sharp but not dull,
And that really touched my soul,
The wisdom that you've got,
To me really means a lot,
It's inspiration that sails through space,
From someone in very different place,
It's words that are so clear,
That make me feel my grandpa is near,
When I felt life was falling apart,
It's your words that touched my heart,
To me this is not pretend,
It's a message of warmth that you I send,
Wishing there was something I could do,
To bring one ounce of Happiness to you,
So every day for you I pray,
And God hears every word that I say,
He can see the tears run down my cheek,
With each word that I speak,
Believe your words of wisdom I will keep,
Because you have touched me so very deep,
My Thanks go out to you,
Some days your words are all that pulled me through,
Even though I am now full grown,
You were my friend when I was alone,
Just look up into the sky,
You'll see my tears as I cry,
Knowing that beside you I may not sit,
But a better friend I'll never get!
