Analysis of My Hero...My Grandpa
Tina C Ratley 1966 (United States)
There's a man I know whose strong and brave,
Our nations hero in so many ways.
He's an unknown soldier I would like for you to meet.
He fought in the war, to keep this Nation safe keep.
He came home to his wife, who he loves and adores.
Had three fine sons, one from before..
He has had a wonderful life, He's gone through so much,
Loves fishing and bowling and his tobacco Beechnut.
He, an Earnhart fan in every way,
Never missed a race, come every Sunday.
This wonderful man I speak of so highly,
Is my Grandpa Arnold, who I love undying.
With big blue eyes and rosey cheeks,
You have a heart of gold that can't be beat.
Grandpa I treasure you in every way,
The love only grows stronger with every day.
Your health isn't as good as it use to be,
Your eyes grow tired, your body so weak.
Someday you will leave us,
But I can gladly say...
" Look for me Grandpa",
I'll see you in Heaven someday!
I love you Grandpa with all my Heart.
Tina C. Ratley
