Grandpa please, can you get well
please remember take your pills,
listen what the doctors say,
you must get stronger every day.
I love you so, I love the way,
you chat to me all the day,
for you are kind, you teach me lots,
and when you’re fine you laugh a lot.
We practise chess, and shoot at goal,
I wish you’d stay until you’re old,
sometimes you kick, and then you fall,
never minding, not at all.
Grandpa please can you get well,
you must you see, to catch my ball.
Grandpa please take all your pills,
cause who will feed the fish you see,
if you’re no longer here with me.
Your twinkling eyes that laugh with me,
the fun we have at Grandma’s teas!
Grandpa please can you get well,
please remember all your pills…

We always say that they have a special bond… this poem sums it all up. My little man needs his grandpa so…

Thank you Sandrine – how right you are.
Such love is so wonderful. I have always looked for this – Pippa K
I have really enjoyed reading all your wonderful poems and being able to look back on times that bring back so many memories. All of the poeple that have known grandpa will love them too. Thank you for all the poems you write as I feel really relaxed and happy when I read them.
Thank you my dearest Emmanuel, I am so pleased that my little poems bring back some memories and help you to feel relaxed and happy about this situation. It is with your continuous love for your Grandpa that I know helps him to remain strong enough to stay with us. Look how well he is doing. It is all our care and love, doing the best we can everyday and that includes those wonderful school reports that bring such pride and joy to Grandpa…all these things spur him on to another day. We pray that he will remain well and with us for a very long time. Thank you dear Grandson, for your very lovely comments under this poem which was taken from the words spoken by you, one weekend when staying at "Hemingway".
Love For Always Grandma x
