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’
