About the Poem
My grandfather has touched my life and my heart with his unconditional love. He lives five hours away, and is in a home. He has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember much, but he is the love I will always cherish.
Grandfather |
| by Lyn |
| You stood by me through it all You saw me stumble You saw me fall You picked me up and held me tight In your arms the world felt right You washed away my tears and fears You walked with me through the years You were there when my children came You opened your arms once again You showed them love - you showed them strength You did for us at great lengths What we treasure most of all Is your love through it all Your handsome face Your big blue eyes Your heart of gold eternal size I miss your smile when I'm away I think of you each and every day My Love for you will never die You are the apple of my eye |
