"Harold Taylor"
Captain - Independence
Missouri Police Department - Retired - 1982
As I sit here thinking things
over tonight
I know with great certainty that something is just
not right
A Great Sorrow fills our hearts today
For a wonderful man has passed away
He was a husband, a friend, a
grandfather, a dad
And if he were here today, he'd tell us all not to
be sad
He would tell us his life was better than he ever
thought it could be
A police career, loving wife, beautiful daughter,
and grand kids made it complete
He would say he had more friends
than any man could wish for
And, with that, he would never want for anything
more
He would tell us of all the wonderful and exciting
things he had done
And of all things he did just for fun
He would tell us all that the
physical suffering is gone
That he is a new man, healthy and strong
He would say to the woman he loved how happy he
was that she was his wife
And what a difference she made being in his life
To his daughter he would tell
her just how proud he was
And let her know she filled his heart with an
unending love
And, as we say this final good bye, we know he is
with Jesus
Looking over, watching, in Heaven, waiting
peacefully for us.
I love you Grandpa,
Tina
