Grandpa

You taught me to laugh
at life when it got too serious
you'd say
"scratch your mad place and get glad"
when I was glaring and furious

You said,
"You must be too short on one end"
when something was out
of my reach
you'd listen when I was sad
and never preach.

Though you left this world
in my heart you will live on
they will remember you
because through my eyes
you'll never be gone.
