Doing

An Ode to My Grandfather

From bedside stories to joyful rides

Those happy picnics full of smiles

Walks through the mountains & finding new roads 

For all of us with Grandpa there are memories g’lore

He has been a friend, an ideal in life

Of things I have learnt & forever strive

A few I share and mark upright

A life so bright it shines like a guiding star

Of courage and giving of prudence in looking far

So many people so many things they want us to be

But its in being true to yourself that shall set you free

Its not in having but in giving where greatness lies

Simple living is where God resides

He has been a friend, an ideal in life

Of things I have learnt & forever strive

A few I share and mark upright
