About Grandfathers

About things
Doing things
In their own special way
About you
Always wanting you
A little longer to stay
About life
A journey,
A quilt of many colors sewn
About memories
So many now lay in stone
His old pipe's chewed stem
His old knife's worn edges
His old shoes, worn belt
His old flannel shirt
His way of driving the old car
About grandfathers
How special they are
