Grandpa's Funeral

by Dark Angel - Pisces

The wind blew slightly that day
As the rain poured down hard
You could hear it hitting the funeral homes roof
As everyone, showed to you, their regard.

I remember sitting there listening
To the music that was played
Visions of you running through my mind of past times
While all the while, in your casket you laid.

It was time for our row to file in line
To say good - bye to you
I was behind Uncle Jim
And what he said brought tears to my eyes, but just a few.

It was finally my turn to say good - bye
And on your hand I placed mine
You were so cold and I felt so alone
Only then did my cheeks really start to shine.

Mom, Joyce, and I walked out to the parking lot
A long with everyone else and hopped into our cars
I was dreading the ride to the cemetery
For I knew, down the road, it wasn't too far.

As soon as we got there the rain subsided
And some rays of light shown through the clouds
The service was held and everyone paid their final respects
And the trumpets were played and the guns shots were loud.

Your soul flew off to heaven that day
 Soaked up by the sun
God took away someone good from this Earth
A very very special one.
