 Penniluck's legacy

Grandad


He is growing old now
His eyes are getting weak.
His legs do not belong somehow
He often gets sore feet.

He was fit and strong
Not so very long ago
Thinking now it won`t be long
Until he has to go.

Growing old can be a pain
You wish time would reverse
You could start it all again
Instead the aches get worse.

He gets irritated now
Because he can not be
As well as he was yesterday
Frustrated, don`t you see.

`Though your body`s getting old
The love you give is strong
This love made of solid gold
Will last our lifetime long.

Granddad please do understand
You still have much to give
Thank you for your helping hand
Which helps us all to live.
