Dealing with the death of a grandfather through the eyes of a young grandchild.

A Poem For My Granddad

©  Dennis Taylor
Hello there Granddad, It’s me, your little man,
I couldn’t find you yesterday,
When I came to visit Nan.

She says you’ve only left the room,
You haven’t gone away.
But I really miss you Granddad
And the games we used to play.

She says you have my teddy,
He’ll keep you safe from harm.
If the going gets hard, just squeeze his hand
And he will keep you calm.

You’ve also got some sweeties,
Isn’t Nana kind,
I may have stolen one or two
But I knew you wouldn’t mind.

And now that you’re not here Granddad
I’ll give double hugs to Nan,
Goodnight, God bless you Granddad
From your loving ‘little man’

This was written for my father in law who idolized his grandson, when he died he was buried with a teddy bear given by his grandson and a box of his favorite sweets. The day after he died his young grandson was taken to see his nana and couldn't understand why his granddad was no longer there. I do hope you like it. Dennis Taylor (Worcester UK )
