Grandpa
17 May, 2003
Author: Mark Spencer
Memories of long ago,
When I was still a lad;
Of times we had together,
And all the fun we had.
You taught me to play baseball.
You showed me right and wrong.
Your eyes welled up with joy
When I wrote for you, a song.
You watched me grow to manhood.
I hope I made you proud.
You gave me the confidence
To rise above the crowd.
But then you went to Heaven.
I know that's nature's law.
I wish I could have told you,
You were the best, Grandpa.
