A girl writes a tribute to her grandfather, her friend, guide, and the light of her life.


My Granddaddy, My Best Friend

©Lauren E. Garner

The one that is my friend,
The one that is my guide.
How much I love, and how much I care,
Is too much to describe.

You've always been my hero.
You've always been me pride.
You've always given so much love,
And shown what’s deep inside.

My heart is full of love.
And my soul is all delight.
You’re the one who sang me to sleep,
and whispered nighty night.

And everyday I pray to God,
I thank him for sending you,
Because you’re the one who wrote me the song,
And made all my dreams come true!
