An hour ago last year.. My Grandad passed away and in honour of one of the most amazing men to live in my eyes. I posted a poem so you could know some of him to
For Grandad.
Sssh, it’s quiet now
I don’t hear your voice
I miss that loud laughter
And your soothing noise
Stop, don’t go away
Sit, talk more about the boys
Tell me of your RAF days
While painting your toys
Come, sit next to me
On the leather chair
Let me lay on your belly
As you gently pat my hair
Don’t, don’t walk away
I’m here to listen now
Teach me of so many things
Tell me why and how
Hold, hold my hands
They’re as cold as ice today
You say ‘They’re bloody freezing!’
And in your hands they stay
Look, how much I’ve grown
In body and in mind
You tell me just how proud you are
You always are so kind
Smile, at all of us
We are all here for you
Nanny’s cooking dinner
We know you love your food
Thank you, for every time
And everything you are
I think of you every day
Even though you are so far
I love you, more –
Than words can ever say
But thank you,
Grandad; for everything, today.
