On Saturday February 27, 2010 my beloved Granddad passed away. It was his decision, he was ready. My aunt Nancy, cousin Lindsay and I all read things we'd written in memory of him, below is my poem. I love him dearly, and truly hope to see him again someday.
Of all the men in all the world
that matter to a little girl
From Dads to Brothers, boys and beyond
there exists a special bond
Between me and a man so strong and wise
who’s been there for me before those other guys
I turned one man so great and wise
into a Granddad for the very first time
He taught me things I’ll never forget
and teaches me things I don’t know just yet
At parks and museums, on trains and even a helicopter
he did so much for his little granddaughter
He was witty and charming, a lively, funny man
he’d put a smile on your face like no one else can
Riddles and rhymes, quotations and facts
“Can we listen to the music without words?” I would ask
A helping hand, a hearty smile
of wit, of wisdom, a man with style
I’ll cherish the 25 years we’ve had together
But if I can accomplish ten percent of the things that you did
that’ll make the world a little bit better.
I love you and I’ll miss you Granddad, love Sica Roo.
