April Fool’s Day and Grandpa
1979

It was the perfect cool spring day
In Boaz, Wisconsin years ago,
The children just got up for school
Dashing with faces all aglow.

All was well the night before
We were all tucked in and warm,
Grandpa staying then with us
After a health ridden storm.

He never seemed too happy
Down right crabby was he,
But oh how he loved the children
With them his heart would be.

At two we heard him, up and about
Then he returned to bed again,
And everyone went back to sleep
Listening to the gentle rain.

This April Fool’s Day I seen him there
So still he did not move,
His eyes were open staring up
Like he surely did approve.

Sometime in the early morning
My dad had slipped to death,
On this beautiful spring morning
He took his final breath.

No more did they see his face
Or hear his loving laugh,
But they remember him today
Grandpa’s love on their behalf.
