To My Amazing Grandfather

My grandfather was the wisest man That I had ever known. I did not know how wise he was ‘Til I was wise and grown. He told his story through his words, So grand you can’t defile it; He told us of his stories as An Army Air Corps pilot. My grandfather was precious to me, A dear and treasured friend. But just like all great friendships, This one had to end. But after dying, I guess that Our bond won’t cease to grow, For while he was alive I didn’t know the things I know. I heard his stories from his friends, And all of them were rife With anecdotes that showed him as A hero in real life. Though all heroes come and go, When the day is done, My dear, amazing grandfather, You’re the greatest one.
