Memorial verses for a grandfather

We hold you close within our hearts,And there you shall remain,To walk with us throughout our livesUntil we meet again.

He was a father so very rare,Content in his home and always there.On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests,God bless you, father, you were one of the best.

A grandfather's hands were strong and kind,His wisdom freely given,He taught us patience, work and truth,Now he rests in Heaven.Though his chair is empty now,His voice we'll always hear,Telling tales of days gone by,To those he held so dear.

Grandad, your garden and your stories,Your quiet steady ways,Live on within our memory,Through all our coming days.

He worked with strength, he loved with pride,A grandfather, a friend, a guide,Now his journey here is done,But in our hearts he still lives on.

Grandfather dear, we think of you,In silence and in prayer,And thank the Lord for lending usAn angel while you were there.

We remember the man who taught us so much,With his steady hand and his gentle touch,The stories he told and the wisdom he gave,Will live in our hearts beyond the grave.
