Birthday Thoughts
I send these thoughts to you up there,
and hope you know that we still care.
With our cake and can of beer,
we're all sat round and shed a tear.
I miss you grandad, so very much,
you seemed to have a special touch.
So I will think of you each day
for in my heart, you'll always stay
The empty house with empty chair,
a grandad who's no longer there.
I send out wishes to you this day,
now there's nothing left to say.
Just one last thing before I go,
my love is true I hope you know.
Your birthday was today, I cried
I wished you here, right by my side.
