Dear granddad

Granddad you were dear,
You made yourself very near.
You teased,
As you pleased.
You loved ice-cream.
You pulled my hair till I screamed,
But you never made me cry.
You made me feel as if I could fly.
You gave me treats.
That no one will ever repeat.
You were buried by a river.
When I go there I always shiver.
I was sad.
The Day you left me granddad.
