My Grandfather

A man of words with heart so kind

His gentleness that made him divine

With weak skinny body but a will so firm

That can even make streams to turn.

Full of knowledge, news and history

So I called him moving dictionary

His words and actions had that spark

That could illuminate millions of paths.

A teacher by profession, fighter by heart

Who never surrendered before life's harsh

He made his students to reach all high

And made himself a memory to thrive.

His words of wisdom and teachings of life

Had always helped me in life's every slide

With managed time for daily chores

He created an example for us to grow.

Seemed strict to some, but soft inside

He was my best buddy day and night

My ideal for life and guide to soul

Really missing your hugs, love and all.
