Granddaddy I'm scared and don't know why Why someone I care for so much Someone who everything he does, he tries Some one who I will always trust Why him? How can it be? A man so strong on the outside But seems to be having so many troubles on the inside Even through hard times like this He shows how much he cares through every single kiss Although the counts more close to zero In the end he'll always be my biggest hero He's just so noble and strong This all just must be wrong A man who is always known as great And describes with anything but hate With grandkids who care And children who share Someone who has such a big heart A man who never takes things for granted And treats everyone the same Unlike me who never realizes how much I care Until it's gone and all I can do is stare How can he be so strong? I look at him and he has so much happiness But I still shed the tears I try to be strong But in the end I'm wrong Because when I think of you not in my life For all the years to come I begin to feel a drop of rain Rolling off my face I can't imagine such pain Something so hard to even explain Then I think about how much you care And know God sees all you share So I'm putting all my faith in him To watch over you as the days begin In time, the storm will pass And a beautiful rainbow will shine at last.
