 * //Words To Live By//**


 * If you were here right now, you would tell me to buck up.**
 * Tears don’t solve problems, and they won’t change your luck up.**
 * Kick life in its face; stay sharp as a nun chuck.**
 * And when things look to good, don’t get your hopes up.**


 * Words to live by, out the mouth of Ron Howard.**
 * Not the actor, but my grandpop, who left his memory at The Towers,**
 * Fought for our country in Vietnam, the last thing he was was a coward.**
 * But two cancers ate his body, and diminished his strength and power.**


 * How badly I miss you pop-pop, but I told myself I would not cry.**
 * And as quirky as you were, its not surprising Leap Day’s when you died.**
 * I know I’m not supposed to but I can’t help but believe,**
 * That I’ll see you later munching on a roast beef sandwich****with cheese.**


 * In Lord’s Hands, I’m relieved to know your suffering is done.**
 * To see more grimaces than smiles, more bed rest than sun.**
 * Now I have words for you to live by, so keep your angel eyes fastened,**
 * And your ears open wide, so you can hear me wherever you’ve been destined.**

//Ashes to ashes, dust to earth,// //Your human life, and your soul’s birth,// //In the name of the Holy Ghost, Father, Son,// //The cancer killed, but Jesus won.// //He’s freed you from the life of sin.// //In God’s name we pray pop-pop, amen.//
