Our ‘Rolly Polly Pudding’
Reims of
verses of poetry from his mouth.
Such a memory!
He investigated
and remembered the Campbell history.
As did his
Mc Donald friend!
He had many
musings and songs.
From ‘Here
comes the Tea’ for Grandma
To ‘Postman
Pete with the Smelly Feet’ for Holiday Club
He loved
reading and passed the joy of reading on
Often falling
asleep reading a favourite book in his favourite chair
Grandma and
Granddad’s book room smelled amazing!
A book was appreciated
if it was annotated.
My Granddad
edited my early poems.
He loved
T.V. shows that made him chuckle and Grandma’s shoulders shake.
He rewatched
Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter with his children towards the end.
Like my
Granddad I get annoyed if a movie is very different from the book.
It is hard
to feel sad that he isn’t here anymore.
Because I
know that he is right where he wants to be.
At peace,
joining Grandma and Auntie Anne.
Singing God’s
praises as he is now.
As he
dreamed of for many a year.
Especially
when sitting on a steam train.
