    Heart of Gold

    Childhood memories of blissful times
    Car rides, plastic swimming pools and sandboxes
    All because of my grandfathers heart of gold

    He showed me love, affection and care
    Something I would have never had if he wasn't there
    He was my rock, my shelter my everything
    But now he's crossed over

    Crossed over to where I can no longer have my long talks
    No more coconut cakes and birthdays
    Christmas cards, hugs and kisses are but a memory

    He wasn't just a grandfather
    A doctor, husband and father
    Known by many and loved by all
    Forever remembered and engraved in our minds

    Eternally running through our veins
    Leaving a legacy that will never die
    Always a strong character and a symbol of pride
    He was my all and will forever be in my heart

    A doctor of medicine and a caretaker of all
    Never worried about monetary payment from his patients
    Only concerned with the health and well being of everyone

    The love for a grandfather and the heart of gold that he always had
    My love for him will never die

    A fond memory captured for such a great man. Though I never knew him personally, I got to know him here. Requiescat In Pace.

    Thank you so much. This is the best comment I have ever had. God Bless.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
