Poem For Great Grandpa Jeffrey

 
Angel On My Shoulder

You were so special to me 

Your cute little smile and wads of gum 
 
The troubles I am going through, I wish you could see  
 
You brightened my day you were so much fun 
 
When you passed away I cried for days
 
It was so sad, I got so mad
 
I tried to calm down in so many ways  
 
They tried to make me leave I felt so bad
 
I remember the skid sounds of your walker
 
I can’t forget the recliner you sat in
 
When I would visit you were such a talker 
 
I blamed myself because of the bet I did win
 
I miss you so much day in and day out 
 
I haven’t ever visited your grave  
 
All I can do now is sit and pout
 
But if you’re my angel watching over me, I know I can feel brave

In Loving Memory of My Great-Grandfather Francis “Frank” Jeffrey
