“Tears stream down my cheek, envisioning the highest of the high mountain peaks,

But nothing compares to the highest of the high in which my Lord speaks,

He told me be at peace and let your days be filled with joy,

and that’s exactly what my grandpa said as he called me, “his little boy”

Grandpa,

I can see your smile every time I close my eyes

and feel your arms around me as I look toward the skies,

I hear your voice speak to me like I was a child again,

You say be strong and have faith,

because that’s how you raised us, amen!!

There’s a never forgotten picture that’s held close to my heart,

Of us on the pier fishing, from sunlight to dark.....

Laughing and giggling cause no fish have been caught,

But this is my happiness, togetherness cannot be bought...

You’ve impacted many, and many you didn’t even know,

but look at us Grandpa, were filled with your glow...

Grandpa, I love you like forever and a day

And your words echo loudly, as you say, Mijo, any day....

Your Grandson,

Jitter Raymond
