Grandpas Poems - Poems about Grandpas

grandpas locked room

room has always been locked on attic stair
creepy thoughts entered when I used to care
older now, I am less psychic, I think
when I walk past, my neck hair does not shrink

missing since the fifties, where did Aunt Dee go?
frankly, it is much easier for me to not know
Putting my thoughts in the ground, willing to

GRANDPAS PATH

Our cabin in North Carolina was built by Deborah’s mom and dad in 1983…
It rests on the side of a mountain…nestled in among the trees.

When Deborah’s dad was alive he had a garden terraced off at the bottom of the yard.
He built a pathway to this garden…to make the walk down there…not quite as hard.

grandpas new toy

grandpa was excited about his new toy
he brought us to his den, he was bursting with joy
what is it? We asked him, for none of us knew
he laughed until he was crying, but he was not blue

do you have an inkling? He queried, hoping we did.
we guessed all kinds of things, but its function was

Grandpas Missing Boot

grandpa’s boot went missing on a Tuesday night
It’s weird he told every relative in sight
I know I left it right here by the door
Some rolled their eyes, others looked on the floor

I knew the faeries had taken it, but did not tell him.
My elf friend named pal had it clutched next to his chin.
I watched

Do You Remember Grandpas Words

What a gorgeous ring! It is your engagement ring, right?
grandma gave me a smile. Tears made her brown eyes quite bright.
Remember the words grandpa said? I asked her, that October night.
She shook her head no; which to me was a sad sight.
Alzheimer’s had taken away much of grandma’s sweet light.

Grandpas Magic Bubbles

Grandpa’s magic bubbles make the world spin a bit faster.
We see the longevity, for it makes peons turn into a master.
They learn new ways to set the world on fire as they spin.
We are now in a refreshing state, where experts are in.

Grandpa was a prophet, a sage, a sharp wizard too.
He can upright the

Grandpas Red Devil Box

Where is grandpa’s red devil box? 
Each grandchild asked this as we entered the home.
It was a box grandpa had teased us with since we were young.
We all wanted it. There was only one of course.

He used to chase me around with it, Barry told us.
I wet my pants once when he told me what

Grandma and Grandpas Swing

My grandfather put up the swing when he courted grandma
I know it had a history only known to the two of them
It was always there, in the thirty-seven years I knew them.

The day grandfather died, I watched the swing fly up in the air
Grandma materialized briefly and smiled at me.
That’s how I knew he had

Grandpas Boat

grandpa’s pride on the water
sitting by the dock of the bay
barely lassoed, relaxed and happy

reflecting calm waters
not a breeze in sight
worries dissipate

catfish smell
a slumbering peacefulness
I know God is at the helm

A small ripple
Splash!
the world is waking up

I open my eyes and see grandpa disappearing
There is his smile
I love you I tell him

Gone fifteen years
but as

Handmade Before My Grandpas Demise

A bible stand stood verily high -
these words won’t die.
Central pages of art.
Grandma’s Jesus would give me a heart.

Grandpas Glory

Wish you were here,
Though your time has come;
The days seem so shorter,
Since you've been gone.

You have not failed us,
As you have gave it your all.
Family will now guide you,
No need to fear the call.

You have chose selfless actions
Among family gone before
The clouds have started moving
The skies are all so clear.

So take your place in Glory
As

Grandpas

This is what they used to do,
Grandpa's made their own rules,
Sit on verandah on sunny morn,
Read the sport, paper at dawn,
Then to read the obituaries,
Ensure still alive, you see,
Finally, they passed to glory,
Grandpas so loved, their story!
