Nectarines

​

We lifted buckets

Buckets of nectarines

How did you make so

Many?

 

Peas

I loved you picking one and letting me eat

One

Flowers

Dragon snaps

Peaches, apples, pink and red flowers and of

Course;

Buckets of nectarines

 

Little did you know you were a magician;

Tales were told

Tales were to be telled

 

But you were a fisherman

You brought the food home

 

You only had one pair of shoes to share

With your brother

But you were a sportsman

 

You were an architect

You knew all

You were good and Guinness

 

But you healed me – lifted as a little

Girl

In your arms

Tasting nectarines –

I was safe there

For a time

 

Whose story do

We tell?

 

For I ate nectarines

 

And above all

Mischievous man

You were my Grandad

 

You are my Grandad
