Grandpa

It has been 32 years ago
since you went to the 
great fishing hole in 
the sky.................
I still remember
waking up
to the distinct oder of coffee
you brewed,
the shape of the
egg you fried,
and the smell
of your fresh 
squeezed orange juice.

I remember riding
through the orange
groves
stopping 
You shooting lunch
and asking me 
to fetch it.

Your heart
was so 
pure
and your Love
of God and mankind
let me
knew
what it meant
to be 
just
a decent man.

I still often 
think of 
you
everytime
a gospel
song is sung
or when 
I see an act 
of kindness coming
from
a complete
stranger.
For it is
you 
that perfectly
describes 
what it 
means
to be
"God Like".
