My Grandfather, Grampy

When I was a little girl
You would sit down with a drink, and talk with me
When Mom wasnt looking, you would let me have the last swirl
You would laugh as I made a face, for it tasted so horribly!
Your way of saying it wasnt good to drink
I never wanted to taste it again, your wisdom done so thoughtfully
You were always up and about, always with a story link
Or as I got into trouble with Mom, you always defended me
The first granddaughter into the family I was
You and Grammie brooded over me, spoiling openly
We moved far away, crying good byes, the heart hurting it does
But visits helped the distances come close
When you went to leave, you slipped me some bills
Oh and how, Mom wasnt too happy, think she went into a temper overdose!
You would show me how to play thinking games thru a deck of cards
Teaching my mind the patience, of insight this instills
Often youd sit on the back porch, watching birds in neighboring yards
It was nice to sit with you, no words, watching, enjoying nature sights
Sometimes, I was allowed to open up a special drawer of little toy treasures
Picking out only one, but always knew it was just for my play measures
When I married, you accepted my mate, as another grandson
Still, you would spoil me so,
I finally said, you are on a fixed income, the bill spoiling done
You and Grammie needing that money, for those rainy day nights
Time moves on, generations adding to our family to grow
Grampy I will remember you as I will; while you were alive
For the end for you was painful and you wanted to be home
I knew you fought hard, But God did arrive
For your time, in His hands, forever in his heavenly golden dome
I will miss you, remembering all the times we did share
Touching with your wisdom, kind heart and your gentle soul to care
Love you always,
Your granddaughter Amber Rose

Thank you for your thoughts. I have been so fortunate to have him this long in life. Our elders mean so much to our lives, they are so very important. For someday we will be there too.
thanks, AMber Rose :) |

Im hoping this will be there. Im unable to make it. I already contacted my grandmother and one uncle to look for my package. They are also burying my mother as well. due to my illness I have, I had taken time off and unbeknown to me, my job dosen't do berieved time,and I have no way to loose it without pay. I have no one to depend on but me. So I can only do what I know and let my presence be felt by my words for both my grandfather and my mother. my family lives far from me, in another state, far enough when there is no money and no time off, and no one to pay my rent while Im off work without pay.
thank you
