and on the lighter side this is one i had published yrs ago
Grandfather and me
We were to go fishing my grandfather and me
spend the day on the deep blue sea
the evening before the sky was bright red which meant good fishing or so it was said
we readied the tackle all in a box
checked hook line and sinkers of which we had lots
then off to bed for a good nights sleep
grandfather said he'll not hear a peep
before daylight with rod in hand
so much better than fishing on land
just grandfather and me in his little white boat
grandma would joke about did it still float
those memories i share with my grandchildren now
in hopes that someday they'll show their grandchildren how
to spend the day like grandpa and me
in a little white boat on the deep blue sea.
