Quick Gospel- And so it Goes (for Grandpa Tom)

And so it goes Today this is for you Grandpa Tom:
Born in 1924 you saw a lot in your time,
quite young but you were there for the crash of ' 29

Probably never thought you would get to see the things you did in your time
You served your country with honor and pride
Then you raised two kids and taught them to love and enjoy life
And you did so with Joan as your loving wife

The kids , how they grew faster than you thought they would
but always by them you stood

Family quarrels would come and go
yet again you taught them to enjoy life as so
the kids would grow and move on, but taking so much of you with them

Grandkids had now been born
all the Christmas sweaters and birthday ties you would adorn
these were the  moments they enjoyed
but you enjoyed them best

Picnics, and fishing was your past time,
no matter where you were you were enjoying life with them
So much time to go, you had many long trips to take with your new life companion
and watching you enjoy the golden years always put a smile on my face
I am hoping I get to enjoy it too at your enthusiastic pace

Great-grand children soon would come and now you really had someone to spoil
and indeed you did
 The moments meant so much to you, but now they mean even more to us

And so it goes Grandpa Tom, a legacy is passed
And so it goes Grandpa Tom, your memory will last


Thanks for it all Grandpa, Love ya, miss ya, and look forward to meeting up with you again.
God Bless
