I have to make a poem for my language arts teacher next year. So, I decided to make a poem about Grandaddy. It’s not completely done, I think I will add more.
I’m always thinking,
The memories he gave me.
The sent of him that I breathed in,
Every time I wrapped my arms around his legs.
Never wanting to let go.
His crooked smile made you love him.
That’s all i saw on his face
That smile.
Enjoying each moment with the generations he started.
The memories I hold,
Always checking to know they’re secure.
The treasure map he made,
All grandchildren trying to see it,
eager to know what he has hidden,
In the dunes.
When he made a crash,
Two kids in a wheelbarrow.
Laughing, with that smile he had.
His treasure was silver dollars.
Handing one out once a year to that one special grandchild.
Everyone who knew him thought of him as a hero
An amazing person
A mystery that couldn’t be solved.
Sitting on his lap,
I was safe.
The sent
The Smile
The mystery he held.
He filled my heart and mind.
Not a day goes by
Where i wish he would wake up,
Create a treasure map
or hold me in his arms again.
Oh, how happy I will be,
To see you again,
Grandaddy.
Very nice, Claire. Granddaddy would love that!
Grandaddy gave you the legacy of creating treasure maps. How lucky are you to know how much fun you can have with your family!
I think we should have a treasure hunt in July in honor of Grandaddy!
I love your poem.
