Poetry
Grandfather dear, the cows are gently lowing
And wheat is swaying gently in the wind,
The spring near here and snow begins its melting—
Yet you must go and we must here reside.
But you’ll be back when tractors are in pastures,
Your face yet dear as loved ones gather round.
We’ll tell your tales of cowboys and the old days—
Grandfather dear, how we'll yet love you still.
And when spring ends and summer’s heat oppresses,
When fall the leaves and winter harshly calls—
You’ll come again as we unwrap the presents
And dream of days when you unwrapped them, too.
And years shall fly and brown hairs turn to gray
And our dear friends shall move to other skies—
Yet we’ll think back upon your cowboy stories
And dream of you still sitting by our sides,
And dream of you still sitting by our sides.
