Memories Of My Granddad
by David Pekrul
copyright 11-03-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
"Many, many years ago,
Or was it just last week?"
(Granddad started out this way,
When he began to speak.)

Telling of the many things
That happened in the past,
He'd fill our heads with memories,
And hoped that they would last.

He always rode a bicycle,
He never drove a car,
But he would travel anywhere,
That wasn't very far.

He had the whitest, thickest hair,
That you have ever seen,
And he was such a gentle man,
I'd never seen him mean.

And every week on Sunday morn,
He'd ride with us to church,
He loved the Lord with all his heart,
His Name he'd not besmirch.

And when he testified in church,
He'd give it in a song,
He'd sing about the love of God,
I knew his faith was strong.

In some ways I am just like him,
In this I do not lie,
For we were both quite musical,
We also loved our pie.

Now Granddad's gone to Heaven, and
In that there's no dispute,
And when he died he left me with
His hymnbook and his flute.

Your grandfather sounds like someone I would like to know. The last line tells me that perhaps you took his place singing God's praise... your grandfather passed on his testimony of faith to his grandson, along with the instruments to do so.

This is melodic, charming and so sweet. To be able to go just about anywhere and not go far is a wonderful statement. Some of us live our whole life in a twenty-mile radius. What a wonderful tribute to one's grandparents, the pillar of strength, the inspiration and the legacy all wrapped up in a single person. I did not have the pleasure of having caring-grandparents. But I am a grandparent myself and I truly wish to convey the same things to my grandchildren!

Treasures I am sure that could not have a value of to much. When My Granddad passed all I wanted was his Nebraska Cornhuskers hat. He was such a fan and we watched the games together all the time when I was younger. The hat was the best thing I could have gotten...priceless. Your poem made me think of him again and thank you for that it was a great memory! Anthony
