My Grandfather recently died. I wrote this poem about him.
When I think of you
When they told me you may be leaving us
So many memories of my life with you
Came to my mind
... See More
When I think of you
I think of family
All the vacations we took
Motorcycles in the desert
Three wheelers, two wheelers, that side car
You loved so much
And the way you would make it go up in the air
It would give me a pretty good scare
But it had a television in it
So, it was pretty cool to be in there riding along with you
When I think of you
I think about
All the things you loved to build
Best of all for me was the dollhouse you made
When I was ten
Furnished with thoughtful touches
You loved us like that
I think some may have missed
The beauty in your heart that makes you want to
Do things like build a butterfly house or a doll house
It is all out of love
When I think of you
I think of airplanes
You loved to fly
I speak often of the time I was 4 years old
Sitting on grandma’s lap co piloting with you
You let go and made me think I was driving the plane
I was so scared
But you were always there
You always cared for all of us
When I think of you
I think of orange trees on the farm
Of Christmases come and gone
Of memories that live on
Your wacky humor I have pictures of
And I am so glad
We said to one another
I love you no matter what
Because I do
