My Grandad's Bible

My Grandad’s Bible

 

Small, old bible, black and plain,

In my care, now, to remain

Forever, a family treasure,

So special, beyond all measure.

 

A neat, handwritten note inside,

A prayer for God to be his guide

Where ever this war bids him roam

And faith to bring him safely home.

 

George’s birthday, nineteen-eighteen,

Still in France, or had he been?

Now aged twenty and just a lad,

Long before he was my Grandad.
