My Story

Whenever I smell mints and candy,

   it is in a nursing home about 9 years ago.

I am sitting next to my great grandpa,

   listening to him play his guitar

              while I sing.

But that is not my story.

My story is sitting with my family

   at his funeral 3 years ago.

I am singing to the song Amazing Grace

   as they carry him away to heaven

      where I will meet him

                 again.
