Grandpa Took Me Fishing
Father's Day Memories
Grandpa Took Me Fishing
He may not have been the biggest
Nor the wealthiest man around,
But he worked the land
And tilled the ground,
Sowed great seeds in my mind
not only in the field,
His words taught well
and knowledge he did yield,
Patience at the riverside
those lessons burned forever,
I'll never let my Grandpa go
and be forever wishing,
That one more time I could say
today, "Grandpa took me fishing."
Author note: The photo is one I made of model airplanes my Grandfather Durbin made from scratch materials. I still have them.
