Goodbye Poem

When I was young, arrogant & brave.
You stood on the sidelines with an encouraging wave.

When I was older, bullish & loud.
You still found something in me, of which to be proud.

With a wife & children, came less time.
You made this family, as much yours, as mine.

Christmas & Birthdays, a card you always sent.
Time & company, with you, not enough spent.

Nan, now that you are gone, & that must be.
Please remember, I love you, as much as you loved me.
