"Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason." - Art Thomas


Grandpa smiles at us, talks as if he’s fine

He asks about us and how we are

I wish I could tell him the real truth

 

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

 

Grandpa’s cancer has brought him through a lot,

And he always has a smile for each of us

But I wonder how he feels about his diagnosis

 

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

 

Does he break down when he’s alone like I do?

He is stronger than me, of course

So maybe Grandpa doesn’t cry all that much

 

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

 

The silent tears, the heartbreak, the sadness

Maybe those without a loved one

Don’t know that money can buy happiness

 

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

And by Grandpa - stay strong, we love you!
