Grandpa
Grandpa
By Shanda May (Stormmy)
I remember the days that we spent together.
Knowing these memories would last forever.
When I was four, we built a snow man one cold day.
I didn't know how so you showed me the way.
When I was eight, you taught me how to ride my bike.
You promised you'd never let go, then you said sike.
When I was ten and got hurt pretty bad.
I woke up and saw that you were so sad.
When I was twelve, you adopted me.
And you showed me off to every one we would see.
When I was fourteen and hated school.
You let me know who really was the fool.
When I was sixteen and left home.
You told me that my heart just needed to roam.
When I was eighteen and having my own daughter.
