Grandad

my memories of you start to fade
like flowers wilting in the shade
i was so young when you left us
i remember the funeral and the fuss
stories were told and memories too
my people i didn't know who was who
now it has been four years since you been gone
those four years have been awfully long
the heart of gold, grandad, that you had
even when you made nanny mad
you thought of others you were a good man
we all miss you even Dan
even though he tries hard not to
he remind me of you in everything he can do
this is my poem i wrote for you
just to let you know we all miss you
