Grandpa

Grandpa,
So funny and wise,
So old yet young,
So energetic and lively,
How could this have happened to you?

Grandpa,
So loved and needed,
So close yet distant,
So cherished and remembered,
How could this have happened to you?

Farewell beloved Grandfather
Goodbye and Farewell for a while.

In loving memory of
Oscar Shipman
