Grandad

This Poem is dedicated to my Grandad who I sadly lost at the start of this year.

It’s been a while but I still miss you

And I know I should say it more than I do

I miss how you always used to be there

Even when it seemed like I didn’t care

You always seemed to make me smile

Couldn’t you have stayed a little while?

I remember when I was little

And we used to get into all sorts of pickles

I loved sitting on your knee

Giggling away with laughter and glee

You were one person I looked up too

And you didn’t have a single clue

When you got ill you still stayed strong

And just carried along

Your courage was something I really admired

And something that I hope I can acquire

Even though you are now gone

Your memory will still carry on

I know you are looking down on me from up there

And your spirit will travel on through the air

You will be always be in my heart

Until I meet you again wherever you are.
