Bye granddad

Bye granddad


Bye granddad
I miss you granddad
I am sorry that I never got to say good bye
Talks and walks just the two of us
Making tracks in the snow
Checking traps
Taking the dogs instead of
The skidoo
The smell of the fire
And making tea
Hours away
Stories about the wolf and the bear
The battle on the hill across the river
The sky so clear
The snow so high
No prison in the air
People flow in and out
But your memory remains strong inside
Your name Willie and mine William
A little on the wild side
You had fight and I had wars
But nobody died
You passed on fighting in Edmonton
I quite drinking
Took a bottle and poured it on your grave
Good bye granddad
