"Grandpa"









A little spinning top
an empty can to kick
marbles rolling everywhere
a hoop and a stick







a hug from your grandma
an icecream with a friend
a gift from grandpa
a thank you letter to send







days to work in the garden
and days to go out fishin'
grandpa's gottin' older
longer life is what I'm wishin'







I'll miss him when he's gone
I'll probably even cry
he was always there for me
I don't want him to die







I can't think of a day gone by
that he didn't make me try
and when I couldn't do it
he would help, with a sigh







yes, I'll miss him when he's gone
and I'll be there to say goodbye
I never did like going to funerals
but like he said, I must try







I'll miss you and wish you were here
but I know you will be just above
I dedicate this poem to you
to my grandpa, with love.
