If someone should ask for me
Tell em heaven is where I'll be
I've finished all my life's chores
And now I fish on heavens shores
The view is grand and the fishings great
But I yearn for you as I wait
I'll save a spot on the rivers bend
For all those I call family and friend
But for now sail out to sea
And make a cast in memory
To all the good times that you had
With me your friend, grandpa.. Your dad
And if the fish no longer bite
Or seem no longer worth the fight
Because it's me you are missing
Don't worry be glad, I've only gone fishing

I will miss or chats and fishing days

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
