Does life not seem the same since your grandfather died? This piece by an unknown poet is about those melancholy feelings that often coincide with grief. 14. “Remembering Grandfather” by Ilona M. Blake That last line is my favourite because I could just picture the hilarious scene where an elderly grandpa walks up to a nun in church and asks her out for dinner. A scene like that would be ideal in a famous or new movie. But maybe it happens in real life as well, sometimes. It can also be very difficult for a child to find out that their favourite grandpa has passed and that he has left this world. These lovely funeral poems for a grandad includes verses that are poignant and moving, while others are an uplifting way to celebrate the life that a grandfather lived. Honestly, I can see myself doing that when I become a grandpa. I already enjoy pulling pranks on friends and family.
