Thanking my grandfather for raising me

Grandfather, An Ode To Thee

by Susan Brightwell

For you today, I write on this Sunday;

My thoughts of our past,present and future are but fleeting moments compared to this day...

____________________________
Genuinely grand you are, for raising
your granddaughter as a daughter,
the irony;

Rather than throwing her away like an
old spare key;

Also having the biggest heart, bigger
than the earth's sea;

Never letting her down whenever her
life gets a bit misty;

Diligently listening to her plea's as she
sat many a times upon your patient
knee;

Forever while her life of regrets
labelled as her biggest disappointee;

Always you'ill be in her life as her
most positively cherished guarantee;

Thankful for providing the happiest
days of her childhood to her lifetime
of memory;

Hectic at times during her young days
causing her unable to see;

Especially at bad times and wishing
she could just disappear and flee;

Running away is her first thought, then
she thinks of your strength and
chooses to take on her biggest fear
called reality;
