I FOUND THIS POEM AND I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECT TO TELL THE STORY OF A GRANDFATHER AND GRANDSON. WITH ALL MY LOVE IN MEMORY OF A VERY SPECIAL BOND. LOVE JACKIE MELINI XXXXOOOO THE WAY WE WERE OUR BOND Beautiful blue eyes with serenity of the sea, Reflection of the sky’s on a bright and sunny day, My little hand in yours, my protector and my guide, Don’t walk too fast granddad for I am by your side. My eyes are your eyes and your heart is my heart, We share so much likeness we were never apart, You would tell me your stories of the Pearl Harbor War, I felt all that pain as the enemies kept score. Big strong shoulders not just to carry me but to carry the world too, The strength inside of you for all you went through, The peace you gave me knowing you would always love me, And the kindness and happiness you gave me and I gave you. No fear do you have or grudges do you hold, my big strong hero So brave and so bold, a firm hand to hold me a firm word shows the way Your little boy forever it’s the way it will always stay The bond that we have I have never seen or felt before My face would light up when you would walk through the door You tuck me in bed then turn off the light but I wasn’t scared Of the shadows in the night For I knew it was you keeping watch over me no harm and no badness Would you let me see, safe in your arms untouchable it seems After God took you away it was all in my dreams And all that is left is my memories of you I know you are with me and in my heart I’m with you too Beautiful blue eyes with serenity of the sea, Reflection of the sky’s reflections of me, My little hand in yours, my protector and my guide, Don’t walk too fast granddad for I am by your side.
