Fare Thee Well Grandpa

You meant so much to all of us

We never wanted to say "goodbye"

And we'll always think of you

When we look at the great blue sky

You'll always have a special place in our hearts

All the great memories we shared

All those times you showed us

How much you truely cared.

We know you'll be looking at us from high above

A bottomless lake couldn't hold all our love

And we'll remember you

That's what you'd want us to do.

Fare thee well, grandpa

Comment: I wrote this poem about the death of my grandpa. He died when I was 16, around 5 years ago. This poem was read by many of those in the family and furthermore was read at his funeral.
