Rest now Grandpa
Close your eyes
Let your soul rise
To the skies
Your time with us
May be done
But we will always
Remember how much fun
You had with us
While you were here
And how you always
Called Grandma “dear.”
We remember the lake
And the cottage too
And watching Tigers
Games with you.
Teaching us all
How to fish
Oh my Grandpa
How I wish
For one more day
In the sun
On the pontoon
But before I’m done
We remember you dancing
With such grace
And the look that
Would light your face
When Grandma came
Into a room
And how you always
Brought her fresh blooms.
We remember tubing
Behind your boat
And the crazy ski belts
That kept us afloat.
Watching birds with
Pure delight
And listening to you
Snore at night.
With joy we remember how
Every single holiday
At your loving home
Was something to celebrate.
Easter egg hunts and
Pumpkins on Halloween
And you always got us
In front of that tree.
So many memories
And the loss is still raw
But we were blessed
To call you “Grandpa.”
Loss is always hard on anyone, one of the emotions that most humans can understand.
