Remembrance

A Poem by Kimber Gillingham
"

A poem about my grandfather after I lost him.

"

Remembrance


He was a great man

I was definitely a huge a fan


He told the best jokes

Some too dirty for folks


He made the best breakfast ever

He was extremely clever


He always had a bald head

"she's the good one" he always said


He would always pick me up from school

He was no fool he was pretty cool


I will remember the good and the funny things

I miss you and thinking about it stings


I know what a dirty magazine is because of you

You had a giant collection I secretly went through


It drove me nuts when you tickled my feet

He used to bring home fresh donuts as a treat


I got my G.E.D thanks to you

Something I thought I’d never get through


I fell in love with the music you listened too

Some songs would leave me breathless and some like goo


He is the main reason I love to cook

His food was always delicious, I liked how it would look


I love and miss him like crazy

I will never let my memories of you get clouded or hazy


Thank you for letting this wonderful man be in my life for as long as he could

I hope to see you again and this time, for good.

A wonderful poem for your Grandfather. I'm a grandpa. I love picking-up my grandchildren from the bus and the time I spend with them. I believe your grandfather was glad to have you too. Thank you Kimberly for sharing the amazing poetry.
