Where
by Melanie Graciani
Born in New York City
No way to go but up
Grandpa gone
Nobody but my family
Sure I’ll see him again
But I have not
Where can he be
Who is he with
He’s probably in Texas or France
Or with his Mom or Dad
He’s still in my heart
I know that for a fact
Is he with my Grandma
Or is he with my Mom
But it’s time for me to face the fact
He won’t be coming back
DEMISE (to my Grandpa)
by Matthew McGuire
As December of 1945 goes by you grew up to be a nice guy
With only friends by your side
When you got to fourth grade you had to drop out
to take care of your Mom
Then in your twenties you found your love
My Grandma , your wife
Grandma was happy when you proposed to her
We loved you a lot
You had a daughter who had me
When I was born we had a bond
Until
June of 2007, when I witnessed your demise
On Christmas day
by Tandy James
We laugh and play
Peppa pot is on the stove
Getting hot
Family talent show
There are no winners
No,no,no
Christmas cheers
You hear loud and clear
When it’s time to go outside
Everybody makes snow angels,
Big and wide
It gets sad when the time comes to stop the play
Everybody loves to have fun on Christmas day
