Eighty years

Dad goes to bed early

He gets up early too

He never wants or needs

To stay up late

Unless there’s something good to do

He loves playing card games

Doing puzzles he loves best

But come 10 pm he’s cranky

So it’s off to bed to rest

The house was full this January

Every bed was being used

For the whole family gathered

Yes everyone was visiting you see

On Sunday it was dad’s birthday

He was 80 years young

We gathered all together

His precious life to celebrate

All the great grandchildren

Were gathered there that day

To say “we love you grandpa”

Please stay with us for life

‘Cause we love you dearly

We love you oh so much!

We’ll miss you when you’re gone

So get together today

Don’t waste any more time

You never know when God

Will call your loved ones home

You never know when it will come

That dreaded day when life is gone

And Jesus comes to take you home!
