I Never Forgot Yo

I never forgot you, though the years rolled by

You’re still in my heart when I look to the sky

Your voice, your love, your strength, your smile

I’ll carry your name… every step, every mile

I was just a kid, but you taught me a man’s way

Hard work, strong hands, no games, no play

You showed me love without saying much

But I felt it in your words and your gentle touch

I miss those talks on the porch outside

The way you held it down with your quiet pride

Time took you home, but your lessons stay

I live for you, Grandpa — every single day

I never forgot you, though the years rolled by

You’re still in my heart when I look to the sky

Your voice, your love, your strength, your smile

I’ll carry your name… every step, every mile

Sometimes I wonder if you see me now

If you’re proud of the man who made it somehow

I hold on to your wisdom when life gets rough

I hear you in my mind saying, “Stand up tough”

You’re gone in the flesh but alive in my soul

You’re part of my story, you made me whole

So this is for you, for the life you gave

I’ll keep your name living — from the cradle to the grave

I never forgot you, though the years rolled by

You’re still in my heart when I look to the sky

Your voice, your love, your strength, your smile

I’ll carry your name… every step, every mile

I love you, Grandpa…

Gone but never forgotten
