Grandpa

AlitaOpal

You were there when mother and father couldn't be..
I am everything I am today because you loved me..
Stories you used to tell me, i still remember them today
I remember hurting myself and you wiping my tears away..
Rainy days reminds me of the time I was upset,
I wanted to go outside but you didn't want me to get wet..
You were both my mother and father,
All rolled into one..
You taught me how to walk and talk, you were so much fun..
I'll never forget the smell of your cigars and the little store you ran
You taught me courage and strength, you told me that I can..
Do anything I put my heart and mind to,
Not a day goes by Grandpa..
I'm always thinking of you..
