A Poem For My Beloved Granddaddy

Sands through the hourglass will surely pass
And a love like ours will forever last

Though memories may dim with time
Forever shall you reside in this heart of mine

Lessons learned and pages turned
From whence they came

Now returned
Misty eyes and final goodbyes

Still my heart silently cries
Looking up at the night sky
Your smiling face remains in my mind’s eye
