Poppy; this is my goodbye

I wrote this for my grandpa, i read it at his funeral. I don't really care what anyone else thinks because this is for him, NOT me and cirtainly NOT you.

 

 

I love my grandpa,

and grand is what he was.

the times we shared

i'll forever remember

 

forever; just because.

 

Christmas mornings- his happy face,

Birthdays and easters at poppy's place.

 

He carried us all,

and far we;ve come,

but now it's his turn;

just the last run.

 

So i hold me head high,

remembering all the happy days,

as i say goodbye to my poppy

and his beautiful smiling face.

 

I love you poppy.

That was so beautiful. Remember saying good-bye to my grandmommy in 1996. You, never realize that you have something good in your life until it passes away. Again, this is a beautiful piece.

I love it. I respect my grandfather very much. When it is his time, maybe I can write something just as good.

I am glad that you were able to write something for your grandad. It is hard for people to mourn deaths but writing always seems like a good way to go. You just prove it.

Very nice and touching, its hard to lose a loved one and you express your love for your grand dad.

Sad, but very nice. You were remembering the good times, not just that he was gone.
