In Loving memory:

My beloved uncle and God-father

May he rest in peace.
He will always be loved
And is missed sorely to this day

This song was released about the time of my godfather's death
To this day, it makes me think of him and brings tears to my eyes
In my mind I dedicated this song to him when I was 17
I dedicate it to him again:

Chorus:
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns

As I look around
I see things that remind me
Just to see you smile
Made my heart fill with joy
I'll still recall
All those dreams we shared together
Where did you run to, boy?

Repeat Chorus

Sometimes I've wondered
I didn't understand
Just where you were trying to go
Only you knew the plan
And I tried to be there
But you wouldn't let me in
But now you've gone away boy
I feel so broken hearted
I knew the day we started
That we were meant to be
If only you'd let me!
I've cried so many tears
Gotta face now all my fears
We let time slip away
I need you boy
Here today!
There was so much you gave me
To my heart
To my soul
There was so much of your dreams
That were never told
You had so much hope
For a brighter day
Why were you my flower
Plucked away

Repeat Chorus

My grandfather- Retirement picture- 1972
May 29, 1915 to April 1989
May the Lord rest his soul

My Great Grandmother Ages 16 and 90
The sweetest woman anyone could know
June 1, 1892 to January 6, 1986
May she rest in peace.
