On a beautiful morning one day in May

I went to my grandma and grandpa's to stay

My grandpa fixed breakfast and fed it to me

I felt so secure as I sat on his knee

I ate every bite of my eggs and my grits

For a snack later on we'd have cheese whiz and ritz

But on this bright morning when the dishes were done

We went out on the porch and sat down in the sun

Grandpa picked up his paper and on that old porch swing

He went in a flash to meet Jesus the King

Before I got grandma I climbed on his lap

Hugged him and kissed him then I felt a gap

Although I was little my heart felt such dread

The moment I realized my grandpa was dead

Though I miss him dearly I know where he's gone

He's  joyfully worshiping God at his throne

I can't wait to see him I know he is there

Praying for me to be kept in God's care

Soon we'll be together no more to part

Until then he will always live in my heart
