Grandad
You were sweet and gentle,
You always made me laugh in my darkest of days,
You were always so happy to see me,
You always wanted to hug me tight when i came in the holidays.
Your language was difficult for me to understand,
It didn’t help that i could only see you in the summer holidays,
I practised all year round so i could talk to you,
When i got it i chatted with you and you listened.
You grew older but that didn’t ruin your fun,
Nor did it stop you from playing on your tractor,
Or the way you always tried to smuggle me sweets
when mum wasn’t looking.
Then you came to a halt and you stayed in that bed,
Your once soft face now pale and ill,
I wish i had spent more time with you,
And not just those warm summer days.
And then came the end...
We had to write peoms about loss in my english class, it was one of the most depressing lesson ever! Anyway this is what i did, it is about my grandad who died last year

I hope you like it
