Grandad's Legacy

Seventeen years of memories, Memories we created, Forever to be won, Your absence leaves a gaping hole, A missing piece that can never be whole. In silence, I hear your voice, A treasure of stories,a heartfelt choice, Lessons learnt and memories to spare, You'd tell me your twists and turns, That I'd listen wide-eyed, With a heart that's on fire, I'll carry your love & legacy, And strive to make you proud. Your legacy lives on, A love that's timeless, A memory that's forever divine, You pushed me to reach the stars, To chase my dreams, bold and fearless, A guiding light, that shines through, Life's joy & pain. Summer holidays were the best part, Grandpa's treats, a symphony of delight, Four little hands reached for the treat, A treasure to share, sparkled a friendly battle, with love and care, But in the end, we all agreed, Grandpa's love was the greatest treat. No words to describe the Biriyani, The aroma still fresh and fine, Grandpa's recipe, a love letter to taste, Grandma's cooking, a heartfelt reply, Together they'd create a culinary delight, A taste of memories, That I'll always win. A grandpa like him, A treasure so rare, A blessing to cherish, A Love beyond compare, Memories of grandad linger on, A bittersweet reminder of love that's gone, A constant presence, that soothes my pain...
