Notes About The Poem

Grandpa

Grandpa

Father of the age, know'er of everything, 
I need to know before the age of six… 
Including all about God. (and teaching me to pray)

Thank you, hug you, love you!

Knight in shinning armor, a hero that never failed, 
even a little, no; not once. 
You helped me to be ready. 
Bug lore, lawn lore, hunting for snakes. 
Lizards, spiders and prune cakes. 
Laughing at ourselves, and living worth living. 

Thank you, hug you, love you!

Cowboy in the desert, ranger to the moon, you had every answer…
the melody and tune. I miss it. I miss you.

Thank you, hug you, love you!
