In the Next Chapter

His face, wrinkled, and wizened with time

Boy do I love that Grandpa of mine

He may be sicker, his hair may be going

But his eyes still sparkle, his wit's never slowing

He's looking older by the minute, he's leaving us fast

But one thing we can do

Is remember the past

Remember him strong, remember him sturdy

Remember his jokes, remember him burly

I look at him now

It makes me sad

But I remember him then

And It's not so bad

His voice may change, but the same is his laughter

And we'll see him again

In the next chapter

I find your poem beautiful, special in its meaning as the ones we hold dearest pass all too soon. And while they may leave, you are quote correct in that we can remember them, in older better times. Because once their memories live in our heart, they do live on forever.and definitely " until the next chapter" .... Great sentiment expressed here!

I like this. Another good one. I like it. This is like my grandfather and I also. My grandparents basically raised me then I lost my grandmother in 2009 and my grandfather has slowly gone in the past few years. I like this. Good job.

This is so sweet, kind, and thoughtful. I was raised much by my grandparents and the loss of them was among my greatest losses in life.

Great job! 100/100
