Andrew’s Papaw wrote the following poem for him on April 6, 1992.

Andy

Hair of fire – Eyes of blue

Little fingers so fast with so much to do.

Asking questions of Papaw

Like – Just what does this thing do?

How far can that go? How fast can it run?

What makes the Sun shine and what makes the rain come?

Can you read this to me or just tell me a story?

Let’s play in my room, run and jump, and be noisy.

Let me ride on your back – Let me walk in your shoes

Let me just be with you – There is so much we can do.

We’ll go this way and that and then start all over again,

But the day is all gone; it must come to an end.

So kiss me good night – Hug me as hard as you can.

Your Gods gift to me – your Papaw’s little man.
