Granddad

Granddad, you were just a lad,
So many years ago.
You had your loves and had your dreams,
You watched us come and go.

You watched us make the same mistakes,
That you had made before,
But that just made you hold us tight,
And love us all the more.

We haven’t always thought about
The things that you have seen.
To us you’ve just been ‘Granddad’,
No thought of who you’ve been.

But we remember now in love,
Your life from start to end,
And we’re just glad we knew you,
As ‘Granddad’, and as ‘friend’

from the gran children and gr8 grandchildren

I was born on apryl 17, 1935 a world that was suppose to be the beginning of peace.
Then four days later I felt nothing but animosity.
It started with my grandparents who thought I was not worth their time.
Second my father left at eight days old which didn't care and I felt I wasn't worth a dime.
Time hated me too and my confidence downgraded to a fool.

At the age of six I went to school
I felt nothing but carrying the burden like a mule.
On father's day, I asked where is my dad?
The answer was a yelling and beating of words that made me sad.

I lived at my grandparents place because we did not have a single buck.
My grandparents treated me like I was nothing, at the age of five I really knew life sucked.
I couldn't afford lunch at school even thought my grandparents are professional doctors.
They help others for living but they couldn't help me, 'I ask them why?' but end their was no reply.

They boast how religious they are and how they treated people with the fear of God.
Am I not little of importance to you, why do you make me feel that I rotting log.
I was kid with dreams and hopes; I thought I couldn't lose my innocence of being child.
I know God wouldn't put my hopes and innocence on trial.

God help you, I wanted to be loved too.
But I was tricked and I feel like worthless fool.
You supposed to love me like grandparents loves their grandson.
But I was right I wasn't worth your time.

You tell me the excuse now that my mom had problem and you couldn't hold me.
That is bunch of lies, you put a quota on everything I ate.
Even thought I was still hungry.
I am human being you know.

Why do you put on act so I can be amused.
So I could think you changed.
I can see through you eyes like a glass window.
Please don't boast about how great you are.

At the end God will know.
God will give judgment and someday everybody will know.
At the end you are the fool.
You will also one day feel the meaning of cruel.


I want to thank you for something,
I understand now you have to treat everybody and everyone with respect
Even those people who made your life a living hell.
You showed me something that great, it's not worth my time being you
Because at the end, I know nobody will like you but think your bunch of annoying fools.

Don't think of him as gone away,
his journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.


Just think of him as resting,
from the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days and years.


Think how he must be wishing,
that you could know today...
How nothing but your sadness
can really pass away.


And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
For nothing loved is ever lost
and he is loved so much!
