A Gentle soul, a heart of gold

Papaw's love, a story told

In every smile, a memory bright.

Guiding us through day and night.

His hands, so strong, now rest in peace,

His legacy of love won't cease.

In our hearts, he'll always stay,

Papaw's love lights up our way.

Though he's gone, his spirits near,

In every laugh, in every tear.

We'll cherish moments, big and small,

Papaw, our love for you, stands tall.
