Granddaddy’s and Granddaughter’s Love

.

I ran across a poem Tamara wrote when my Dad died,
My Mom really loved it a lot, and it did make her cry.
Even though you may not understand all the things she does say,
The love she expresses just made all of the families day.

“Granddaddy’s And Granddaughter’s Love

.

What a very smart and sweet sweet man,
He always called me Tamara Anny.
He’s a fisherman, a father, a husband and all.
He used to tug on my pony tail.

 

.

He knows all the answers on Jeopardy,
Because he really knows his history.
He’s been surrounded by grandmothers wonderful art,
And remembers…’A toots just a little fart.’

 

.

He’s been around the world and back,
An engineer, a veteran, he doesn’t slack.
I admire this man to no end,
A granddaughter’s love you cannot break or bend.

 

.

He and Malelia made some pretty fantastic kids,
JerrylDine, Craig, and my dad, Bill, yes they did.
I cannot name a single fault.
Peckerwood soup and The Tennessee Waltz,

 

.

Always remind me of Walter Raymond,
What a sweet sweet, smart smart, brave brave man.
If I wanted him to know just one thing today,
It would be I adore him more than words can say.”

Maybe this inspired me to try my hand at Poetry.
