I miss you, Grandpa- POEM

 

A man,

I wish I knew,

today,

would be 111,

and I still miss him today

My grandfather,

a man I would look up to,

yet vaguely,

remember him

and yet,

I still feel,

he's with me,

and I remember,

small things,

that made me smile

remembering,

how much,

I love chocolate,

and how,

he introduced me,

to it,

before I was one

Wishing I knew,

more about him,

as I get older,

losing him,

at a young age,

of only eight

Seeing him,

once a year,

on Memorial Day,

when I go upstate,

to say hello

You ate still watching over me,

as I try to remember you,

and yet,

I wish I knew you more,

I still love you,

and I know,

you're looking down on me right now,

and smiling,

Happy birthday, Grandpa
