Grandpa Brock
Grandpa Brock
You were always our strong, opinionated, stubborn rock
that taught us what it meant to be a Brock
Through the teasing of many dogs
And listening to us all sing many country songs
Though we shed many tears
Our stories will keep you alive for many more years
Everyone will miss your kind soul
That tried to keep the family whole
The lessons, smiles, and love will remain
Although your body and soul is now aboard the heavenly train
