Pa Pa is just a man
in other people's eyes
but to us he's a tower
strength surpassing size
with a love of the Lord
that will never die
He comforts out tears
and questions of why

a man that can fall
like everyone else
but putting others first
giving of himself
spreading the Word
and caring for souls
walks past the fire
and tends to the coals

the soul will pass
to a better place
but his heart lives on
in the tears we trace
sadness fades
and the love still lives
a caring heart
was all he could give

a husband, a father
and granddad to me
always there
to help us see
this man will never
become a memory
'cause part of his heart
will live in me

i miss you pa pa,
chris

You know, I regret that my Grandfather never had the opportunity to share in my "passion" for poetry. Yours surely would be proud. Nicely done, Chris.

your poem made me long for something i never experienced, thank you for sharing

i never call a poem "nice" or such,
for that would not be saying much
