My Granddad a Special Memory

I first remember him when I was 3 Around grandmas bed did hands hold we As she would go to meet the Lord No tears showed he though his soul tore As I grew older he taught me how To do match equations that make men wow I worked in his wood shop for two whole years I learned just a sample of what he could do The love of his woodwork I'd never lose My love with poetry started with him I recited a poem in each grade school year I still have the books he read of poetry He joined grandma when I was 15 Til this day I love him dearly Done on 09/14/14
