Sonnet for Granddad

I remember the days when I used to spend the night.

I remember those times where I was squished so tight.

I remember when we used to play around.

I remember the times I fell down.

I remember the times you made me laugh.

I remember that you kept me on the right path.

I remember you telling me you loved me.

I remember when you passed, and your soul was set free.

I remember life when you were still here.

I remember when there were tears.

I remember when they took you away.

I remember that it was a rainy day.

I remember all the good times we had.

I remember that the times were never bad.
