The year was 1974,
riding in the pinto,
brown small car,

Summer breeze blowing,
as I held my hand,
out the window,

Radio was playing,
with 8-track player,
his music, his songs,

I can still see the sun,
reflecting through trees,
as we drove in the country,

To a little country store,
he didn't know a stranger,
funny, I am the same way,

He laughed with everyone,
loved to sing songs,
taught me a few of them,

I loved that little store,
it was our religion,
once every week,

He would take me there,
buy me a small coke,
pop open the cap on
the side of the cooler,

Then I would get a 5 cent,
chocolate football candy,
some double bubble gum,

with a smile on his face,
and a tune on his lips,
we got back into the car,

driving home once more,
crossing the bridge,
pulling into the driveway,

It was over, till next time,
I looked forward to each trip,
it was special,

So was my grandfather,
and they don't make them
like that anymore.....

Dedicated to my Grandfather

I love You And Miss You!

You take us along so well, I'm too young for some of that, but in your eyes I see. Thanks Pretty lady.
