Almost Perfect

You must go through this

But not all alone

Look at all of us here

Willing to bring you home



Just know that we're here

Especially for you

There's 20 shoulders to cry on

Whenever you're blue



Grandma & Grandpa

Are a special pair

They're the ones who help you

They're the one who always care



So we all feel the pain

Of what he's going through

Remembering the good times

And how we all grew



He'd crack a joke

With what he'd say

Say he's "Almost perfect"

And go about his way



He'd speak in funny voices

Then ask you to pull his "pungy"

Knowing AFTER you've done it

That something smells funky



He's handy around a house

Knowing everything to do

Teaching you along the way

Always learning something new



It's these good things we remember

And we'll always enjoy

Our memories are what bind us

To this Big Little Guy
