MANDADDY
A small breath of life and then you were gone. Down that shadowy trail to your final home.
We stood there beside you filled with fear. Our hearts were aching, eyes full with tears. And God said: Come Mandaddy this is your day
Take my hand and I'll lead the way I'll cleanse your eyes and you'll see clearly again I'll heal your ears so you can hear the patter of rain again I'll mend your heart and let you breath easy again Give you back your voice and you'll speak clear and loud.
Come Mandaddy, were nearly there The pearly gates are opened wide. Lean on me, I'll be walking by your side
Welcome home Mandaddy!
We Love you! Your Grandchildren
