I Remember..

This is a poem I wrote some time ago.
I was asked to do the eulogy at my grandfathers funeral, this is what I read.

I remember...
I remember being a little kid,
and getting up in his lap.
 
I remember his quietness,
and the way he laughed.
 
I remember his power,
his might, and his strength.
 
I remember the way his beard,
used to tickle when I kissed him on the face.
 
I remember his smile,
and his brain.
 
I remember his love,
I remember his huge heart.
 
I remember his voice,
and the way he loved to talk.
 
I remember his stories,
of growing up.
 
I remember his life,
and I remember the day he died.
 
I remember being told,
while sitting in my room.
 
I knew he'd been sick,
but I didn't think he'd be taken so soon.
