Grandfather

You passed away, but your lessons still carry on. And now I must say thank you. Because I know what they were worth.

We used to sit and laugh about silly things
The man, who taught me all I know.
Who taught me why the blue bird sings
From safety down below.
 
How to smile, how to frown;
How to get up when I am down.
How to respect, how to obey;
How to enjoy the light of day.
How to fight, how to fly;
How to stop being so shy.
How to build, how to destroy;
How to get respect from every boy.
How to earn, how to make;
How to fight for what’s at stake.
How to be stubborn, how to listen;
This man taught all that’s given.
 
He taught me every lesson
That I have ever learned.
In return was the respect
And the love he has earned.
