AN ODE TO MY GRANDDAD...

AN ODE TO MY GRANDDAD.
When you opened your arm
And held me close that night ,
I didn’t picture calm.
Unfortunately my instinct became right
With a totally red face with tears,
I knelt down beside your casket
Pondering on our beautiful relationship,
It’s hard to hear….
Though I do realize you were
Completely out of this physical basket,
Thy are the cleverest, funniest, and best Granddad
A girl can ever get, I bet
The word omnipresence would be true.
Though there are many live characters
To stand by me throughout my days,
Nobody compares to you!

I love the lines "Though I do realize you were
Completely out of this physical basket". Tommy
