Whether building a home for his family, or planting a garden with nothing more than a hoe.
My Granddaddy planted seeds
in each of us, and then patiently watched them grow.
My Grandaddy
Louie McGovevrn
1921-2001
He rose above every challenge, and weathered
every storm.
He enjoyed the simple things in life, and his most important crop was
always home.
His mind was full of reason, his body full of strength,
His heart was full of love, and he worked hard at any
length.
My
granddaddy was more than a grandfather he was also a father and friend,
To each and every one of us until the very end.
Granddaddy can you hear me, we pray you’re here today,
To see all
of your loved ones admiring and loving you on your passing day.
Look for this poem to be
published in the fall of 2001 in a collection of various poets entitled, “Under
a Quicksilver Moon.”
