Sadly Missing Ron

My children’s granddad has passed away,

From smoking he did rot and decay,

He went into hospital and died the next day,

Their distraught grandmother does pray

That he is now in heaven with our Saviour –

Which all of the immediate family favour

As Ron, was peaceful in his behaviour,

And lived a life of being a grafter. 

A simple man who lived a simple life,

Placid and hardly causing any strife

To his loving and doting wife –

Who will now be soberly lonely.

He was loved by all of the family

And we will all remember him fondly.

A sonnet.

 

Sadly, Ron, passed away last week. He was in his early eighties. He was the stepdad of my ex, Fiona.

 

Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
