Popcorn cake
Cinnamon buns
Bread
Shortbread
Ginger snaps
Divinity
The treats that grandpa made
Tray by tray, pan by pan
Divided equally between the clan!

Books
Crosswords
Baking
Bowling
Music
Gardening
The things that grandpa enjoyed
Year after year, day after day
The moments of life ticked away

Quiet
Compassionate
Loving
Giving
Gentle
Intelligent
Eloquent
These are the attributes of grandpa
Quality after quality, impression after impression
Carved into our hearts to brighten

Son
Brother
Uncle
Husband
Sales Analyst
Grandfather
Great grandfather
A man well loved and respected by all
Honour by honour, trust by trust
Never forgotten til we’re but dust
