Final Glimpse

Recessional

:

What Makes A Dad
God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of na ture, The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagles flight,
Thejoy ofa morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it...Dad

SLEEPING WITH THE ANGELS

From a place high above,

I thought my life was over,

Where angels float in the sky, To the very ground I walk on, My Grandfather watches over me,

I did not get to see him often, Even though he was not far away, But even then he meant the world to me,

Every step I take,

Leading me in the right direction,

He knew no wrong.

Showing me the way.

Always wanting what was best for everyone.

Never putting himself ahead.

Even though I know that he is in my heart,

Ive never met a better person,

I wish he could be here watching me,

To help me walk my way,

As Idevelopinto a beautifulyoung woman.

I never thought Id get through this,

No.matter what, No matter how faraway he might be,

And still havent today, But knowing hes always with me.

He is still my hero,

Makes me stronger in my everyday Ufe.

For he has changed me.

The death of my guardian angel.

You see, my Grandfather died a few days ago, But now his spirit is with me,

Was the hardest day of my Ufe, Even though he moved to the

And I know hes living a better life. Sleeping with the angels,

best place in the world.

In his comfy bed at night.

Love, Your Granddaughter,
Natisa
