I love this poem. It represents how I feel about everyone, not just my grandfather, that has gone home before me. Sadly I lost my "Pappy" Tuesday on Jan. 26th 2010. I will miss him very much.
" The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning
that God was going
to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us
one by one
the chain will link again."
