I feel your spirit around me
Keeping me safe from the harsh world
I know you’re looking down on us
Thank you for watching over me

I wish you were here
So I could hug you just once
I never knew you Grandpa
But I love you more than anything

Explanation

I think about my grandfather often. He crosses my mind each time I pass by his old home. It
is such a beautiful and peaceful place. This picture makes me think of him and the stories I’ve
heard about him. He was special to so many people, and he made an impact on several lives. I
know it hurts my father that he never knew his dad, and I wish he would’ve been able to have
him around. I know that my dad thinks of him a lot and that he holds a special place in his
heart. My father visits the grave sight of a man he never knew and places flowers there
because he loves him dearly. Everyone can feel his presence in this place, so we know that he
is here. I know my grandpa is watching over my entire family. He is helping and protecting
us, and will continue to do so throughout our lives. He is close to our hearts and we all love
and miss him very much. Even though he isn’t here in body, he is present in spirit.
