Hi, Thank you for the comment on my poem 'Are You Knocking? ' I really enjoyed your poem, 'Grandpa'. I really enjoy talking with older people, they have so many interesting things to share. Anne Murray

'He'll pass this way'... thanks Chris, you just shared with me your Grandpa's essence and spirit... thank you, it was a joy to visit - Deana

My goodness! That is lovely... I especially like the third verse and final lines of the fourth verse. I can identify with your what is conveyed here. A pleasure to read.

Nice one James in memory of all the grandfathers. I know in my mind all the time in growing up, my thought was to as how long will I have to enjoy their presence. The joy was enjoying them in the hear and now but the goodbyes always took me to Is it really. Thanks for sharing

Your grandfather was a great human being. And great human beings are never replacable. Very touching. Ten for both of you. Warm regards, Sandra

Beautiful tribute to the memory of your Grandfather. I remember listening to stories from my Great Grandmother and how I wish I had been old enough to fully appreciate them. I still remember some that seem so long ago and so out of place, but are still great lessons in humility and humanity. Our elders still have so much to contribute...too bad many are too wrapped up in their own lives to remember that. I come from a family where we take care of our elders and, although it is hard work, it's worth every minute. Thank you for bringing back some great memories with this lovely poem.

This is a nice poem. Sounds like your Grandpa was similar to the great men of WWII, like mine. I enjoyed this one.

What a sweet tribute to a wonderfull grandfather I am sure. Somehow when reading it took me back to my husbands grandfather, he too filled our life. Your descriptin is excellent with a feel of good ol days theory... But the nicest part, it came from within your heart.. Bonnie Collins
