The special gift of warming a heart with the mere touch of their hand;
Their compassion and generosity,
Their moments given freely,Their needs set aside,
To love and care for their family, whenever or wherever the time may arise.
The ability to convey the wisdom of years passed,
Imparting in their loved ones memories and values to last.
Their warm glow and gentle disposition,
Makes them ever so dear to all whom they know.
It is their love that is timeless and stands the test of years,
Through laughter, joy and tears,
And though we each venture in our own life trek,
They are always with us, ever so near.
We hold them in our hearts,
With pride and great esteem,
They are so much of what make each of us beam!
From silly riddles to stern lectures,
Tickles and giggles and lessons on life,
They shared each of our childhood dreams and encouraged us through our adult strife.
They held onto their mottos of life lessons learned,
To share and pass on to us what their own diversions yearned...
'Anything worth doing is worth doing right',
They gave us stories for insight and delight,
But so we would gain respect for what hard work earns,
And possibly provide for ourselves an even better life at each turn.
A solid family set firmly in faith of Jehovah God,
Still with its own piece of life's problems,
But a love and strong legacy woven within the foundation,
Because effort, honesty and caring for others were a few of the values instilled,
It is through their actions and effort, a wonderful family could be built.
We owe a lot to our Grand-Parents,
More than we ever could truly repay,
It was their love and dreams that began what we know of our lives today.
To our Grand-Parents...
Time may march on,
Dawn may set to dusk,
But your guidance and love is that in which we always trust.
In loving memory of Pa-Pa
(Dad & Grandfather alike)

"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein
