My Great Grandpa
Felipe was very special to many. He was a farmer raising chickens, rabbits, sheep, and goats. He also worked hard in the agricultural field.
✿
During the childhood years I was fortunate to have known my Great Grandfather. He was living with my Grandparents during that time due to his age.
✿
One fond memory that I have is him gathering my brother Randy and I to the kitchen table. He asked us if we wanted to share one ear of corn on the cob with him. He then proceeded to divide up one kernel each, taking turns with us as well as himself. He then told us that we should share with others and not to be stingy. Great Grandpa Felipe was generous and a giving man. He always usually spent his time in his room where we always found ourselves hanging out with him. I still remember when he passed, I was very sad and emotional. To this day you are missed and loved. I love you, always and Forever...~

A True Hero
What makes a man a hero?
I've often thought this through.
It's someone who is macho?
It's someone who is true?
No, that is not a hero.
He's just a simple man.
Always there when things go wrong
and who does the best he can.
He lends a strong shoulder
To ease the flow of tears
He holds high the lantern
To drive away your fears.
His smile was just enough
To give encouragement.
His frown more than adequate
To make one soon relent.
When some had need of guidance
His ears he'd freely lend
Advice came in abundance
You chose, not him could you offend.
He had no need of medals
Or glory this is true.
That's why, dear Grandpa
Our hero has to be you.
