Grandpa
Hope you know how often
You're remembered with love
Every time I put pen to paper
I'm grateful to you for encouraging
My "Groundhog" stories
When I meet someone new
I remember how everyone
Was always welcome in your home
I'll never forget your smile
When you said
"How's Pappaw's good girl?"
I'll always remember you singing
The song about Sally Goodin
That made me giggle
Listening to your stories of times past
Always left me with the feeling
Of connection to my history
Playing cards
Around your kitchen table
Created many cherished memories
I've always known you were proud of me
And I've always been proud
You were my
Grandpa
