Memories
In 1915, my great grandfather was born
He took his first breaths at the edge of dawn
While the guns were low he grew up quite well
At least when he didn’t have secrets to tell
Years after the war he found the right girl
A couple years later they got married as well
Sadly, his 101st birthday was the last one he had
Because on the 2nd of March the news was very bad
I will still remember him as kind and sweet
Never forgetting his beautiful memories
