A tribute to my adopted grandpa, Pa Jones


From The Beginning, Until The End


You’ve known me, since I was born,
You watched me get older,
You saw me grow like a weed.
Every Wednesday,
I’d be up at church,
You were always there.
Faithfully mowing the grass.
I would climb up onto your lap,

And we watched the ground for frogs,
As we rode along,
We would find tree frogs, toads, anything.
Many times you had frogs waiting,
Just for me.
You were there,
When I learned how to skate,
You cheered me on,
Even when I fell down.
I got older,
And so did you.
I got saved,
You promised,
You would always pray for me.
Time passed,
You got sick,
And now I prayed for you.
But now,
Our prayers for each other,
Have come to an end.
God has called you home,
You now rest, fully restored,
In the presence,
Of Almighty God.
I will miss you,
But I know,
Before too long,
I’ll be there too.
