84 years young you'd have been
And I sit imagining all the things you'd have seen
I remember the last birthday
Where you got your own way
I drove 421 miles
Just to make you smile
That look on your face
When I pulled up in the parking space
Tears of joy rolled down your cheeks
Sometimes grandad it's your hugs I seek
No tears today
I'm going celebrate in my own way
A brew to start
Sleep soundly grandad knowing your always in my heart

Skip!
What is it all for if everything you own ends up in a skip. When your possessions and things end up in the tip. Went back to my late nans house today.

Old Wisdom
I know this old lady with white hair. Her eyes still sharp and skin still fair. She tells me stories from the early years. As I listen with open ears. You see the experience in her eyes.

Taffy
My grandad from Wales, he always told long tales. We made each other laugh, so much so, his falsers broke in half. Super glue the remedy, sooking on spaghetti until they were ready.
