Grandfather MAG
Grandfather
With walker in hand
Talking of the Revolution, the Civil War
When ancestors fought
For their rights and freedom
When everyone tried to reach their dreams
Grandfather
Used to know everything
Fingers nimble
From ukulele and painting
Figures of veterans
He would tell
Of my American heritage
Of the heroes, inventors
That came before me
Loved by his family
Appreciated by his friends
Would educate me
Want me to know
Of Daniel Boone
Dr. Joseph Warren
And others of my ancestors
Mixed from everywhere
Grandfather
Old and tired
Never can you leave your chair
Always connected
To the past
I wish you could be safe
But I will remember you
After you go
Among the heroes of the past
