Description When I was little he would sit me down,
We would waste and talk the whole day away,
His old knotted face it glared like the sun,
My grandpa.

His house on the hill was tucked, quiet, away,
From prying eyes he was only for me,
Amazed; by his stories of the Great War,
My grandpa.

But as I grew older we grew apart,
I kept him near; I kept him in my heart,
Standing alone in this great empty world,
With places to go and lessons to learn.

The years flew by and as our distance grew,
He came to me when I couldn't pull through,
He was the man, who couldn't let me down,
My grandpa.

As he moves on now to another land,
I am not sad; I take him by the hand,
The trenches in our hearts forever running deep,
My grandpa.

Aw it's really sad, but nice I wish I could write about serious stuff, my poems are totaly cheesy and my writing is about as realistic as a flying giraffe.

Thank you I liked that flying giraffe simile lol, but I really think your too harsh on yourself in terms of your poetry, what i've read by you is actually pretty good! xD

This is so sweet, lovely, and sad..
There is just one little bit I think that there is a problem - a very minor one though. In the line:

"Amazed; by his story's of the Great War,"

story's should be stories right?

Otherwise, very good!
