To Grandpa

Grandpa so full of love and warmth Grandpa so full of wisdom and knowledge Grandpa so full of yes white hair on your crown Grandpa so full of care always brought me fruits Bob we loved to call you and we loved you Many a times your tongue spewing wisdom We delighted in you we flourished with you Grandpa i knew you well you were a judge A judge in the traditional sense spewing wisdom Not a judge of corridors of power and huge crest A judge bound by honor and oath to rule justly Grandpa we knew you as a strict disciplinarian You are gone it's a decade plus a handful of years Yet forever you are deeply cherished in our hearts At the banks of Gihon you turned and looked back A wise appraisal for the future you had oh Judge CODE Lewis K. Nyaga A DEDICATION TO BOB

This is a great tribute to your grandpa Lewis. I never had a chance to meet my grandfathers but i hear great stories about them. Similar to yours especially discipline :-)

What a great way to honor your grandfather, Lewis. Sadly, the bigger part of society has forgotten the value of the elders. "Honor your father and your mother, that you may live long" is not limited to immediate parents, it is a very apt reminder to honor our elders. Live a long, full life, Lewis. hugs!

Thanks Kim, and your comments are very true, our people have a saying... the demise of an elder is like the burning down of a great library///hugs & blessings
