Uncle Graham, Up In Heaven

My loved one you’re up so high,
Wish I could pull you out from the sky.
For one more chance to live your life,
To see your kids and your wife.
To show them the feelings of how much you care,
The warmness in our hearts knowing your there.
To see what you’re like years down the track,
Oh Uncle Graham I want you back.
Not a day goes by without our thought,
But also remembrance of the happiness you brought.
An unforgivable tragedy took you away,
I’ll never forget it not to this day.
The day I come and meet you at heaven’s door,
There will be no need to grieve anymore.
For we’ll be together twenty-four seven,
Enjoying our future life up in heaven.
