MY GRANPAS
My grandpa Dean
Was always there for me
His hugs were sweet and tenderly
My grandpa Poppy
He was someone I adore
I wish he lived right next door
They both were loving
Both kind and sweet
My grandpas you want on your street
Sad if you never met them
They gave us a kiss and said good-bye
Every-one in the room had a tear in their eye
On March 23rd 2004
My grandpa Poppy was no more
So the coroner took him out the door
On March 25th 2004
The bagpipes played “Amazing Grace”
While he was put into his resting place
On April 22nd 2004
After my mom and grandpa Dean said their good-byes
My grandmother gently closed his eyes
On April 27th 2004
All the stories I heard were to my surprise
I had to wipe the tear drops from my eyes
this is fantastic.
ReplyDeletethe only thing i would suggest to do is to keep the shape with the last stanza, just center it a little more.
actally, ther's one spot i catch on.
ReplyDelete'the kind of grandpa's you'd want on your street."
it seems to fall of the rythmn a bit.
if there's a way to make that line just a hair shorter, it'd be grand and flowing.
that's the only thing though.
the rest is grand. gives me a little chill.
I love it Heaven!!! It flows gracefully and depicts the sad truth of life. It shows what the world has taken from us and how. Makes me want to wipe tears from my eyes....
