Family Memories

Worn and a little weary He sat on his narrow bed It was so very long ago now Many things were never said He had a full and long life A family he had raised Hard work was all he knew Not realizing the trail he’d blazed As I look at old memories From right out of photo books Grandpa stood out, you know With his casual but meaningful looks Several generations after him Were in the pages as well A cotton patch and cattle So many stories he could tell But Grandpa stands out so much So many things there is to remember One thing I learned from him was To be warm and good and tender But now the years have past Sometimes it so sad for me But I still have a great lifetime Of wonderful family memories!
