The lessons taught by your patient hand,
A guiding light on life's shifting sand.
You showed me kindness in countless ways,
A shining beacon through all my days.
With every poem, I hear your voice,
A melody rich, giving me choice.
In the fragrance of roses, in winds that sway,
Your spirit lingers, lighting my way.
Though time may take you from my sight,
Your love, dear Grandfather, is my endless light.
In every memory, your heart beats strong,
A cherished rhythm, a lifelong song.
So, here's to the bond that time can't sever,
In my heart, you live on, forever.
With gratitude flowing, I'll carry your flame,
In each whispered word, I'll honor your name.
You are here-always have been and always will be, in the heart of these pages.
