Grandad

Looking up at the moon above,
Surrounded by all the people you love,

You can now fly higher than a kite in the sky,
No more pain, no need to cry,

Thank you for teaching us all the things that you know,
For taking us out in the wind, rain and the snow,

Sitting us upon your knee,
A beer for you a dummy for me,

Playing us your mouth organ songs,
Making us a family in which we belong,

In the kitchen was your favorite place,
And every time you saw us, there was a smile on your face,

I won’t say goodbye grandad,
But I will say goodnight and sleep tight.
