(A conversation between a granddaughter and her granddaddy)
Little one my time is coming the sun will set soon and I must go home over the river I will one day go . Crossing Jordan with vigor and here are somethings I want you to know so come hither. Give me your hand so that you can see what you have always meant to me. From the day you were born and placed in my lap there you say until my night cap . Sweetheart you are always the apple of my eye and my sweetie pie and I hate good byes but with the morning comes I will fly away .
Da where are you going so soon its not even noon . What did I do for you to leave me alone , no one to talk to ? Da , I can't bear the thought of you leaving me so quit it we have much more time to go . Da I am a senior now and things will be looking up for us , college , marriage and  great grandchildren . Wouldn't you like that ? Sweet little faces that resembles your with smiles that will87 open doors . Have you not even thought to things and have you not given any thought to me ?
Youngin there is nothing I can do wait for my date is approaching , yes my dear it is my fate . Love love you so dearly my heart beats on inside of you . See though one day I will look down on you and smile , sit with me for awhile. When you were young I did the same thing , you crawled between my feet . A fast you were and smart as a whip those are traits you can thank God for .  I will always be with in many ways but not always in these kinds of days . When you are pressed for time and nothing is in line I will provide comfort . When you are weak and tired I will lend you my arms that held you so dear. When you can stand I will give you my hands to hold so that you may walk like before . Dear sweetheart , my days grow short as yours become brighter . You have a torch while I have a mere lighter . Keep you head up and remember what said because I won't be around to find you . Until then I watch the sun rise with you by my side and pray for you as you for me . Parting brings me great sorrow but I see you on the marrow.
