My Beloved Grandfather~
Loving Memory

My grandfather
who I dearly miss-
A glimpse of my heart, for everyone to see,
Sentimental thoughts, Ikeep close to me.
The memory of you, honor and grace-
These fill my heartbroken space.
A place safe from fear,
When you held me close and sincere;
In your arms, love very clear.
Looking into kind eyes, and you'd hold me tight.
I never dreamed you would have to go,
This pain hurts grandpa no one knows.
Pap paw made everything right.
Weekend fishing, special times Saturday's pop-corn night.
Playtime and Laughter; everything was bright.
Swinging on that porch swing, the color of white,
Perfect everything- when you were in sight.
Many years have come and gone,
Memories of you live within me strong.
If only you could have lived to see,
One gift that God gave to me.
My son, Sheldon, so gentle and kind,
Sometimes, it brings tears to my eyes,
Your spirit, through him, defined.
A reminder of you all the time.
Memories, I will cherish forever inside.
