"SKIPPER"

If I could have chosen my time to live,
I would have arrived quicker
For the oh so wonderful chance to give
A hug to my granddaddy Skipper.



He's in my heart and in my soul
and there's one thing I can rely on
In my mind he never grew old
And he's still a shoulder I can cry on.

I have a friend I know will listen
When on days I don't feel so chipper.
While I never got to know him
I can always rely on my granddaddy Skipper.

He missed the day that I finally came,
But I know he knows I really miss him.
I will always carry his name;
At least that's one thing I was able to give him.
