DESCRIPTION
This poem was published in Quill Books and the International library of Poetry. I've made a slight change. Originally the poem said that my Grandpa was refined. I've changed the word refined to divine. I did this because refined isn't a word that describes him accurately. [132 words]

In Memory Of Burley Johnson Randy Johnson
Dedicated to my Grandpa who died August 3, 1994.
Such a wonderful man so selfless and divine.
We were all a part of his love until the end of his time.
Now he's passed away, ashes to ashes dust to dust.
It's hard to let go but sadly I'm afraid we must.
I felt so much sorrow as we lowered him in the ground.
It's so sad to know that he'll no longer be around.
While on this Earth, he left us a special gift
and when we're deeply troubled, his memory is sure to give us a lift.
I wished he was still alive but I'll never get my wish.
He was my Grandpa and sadly he'll be missed.
With a voice as soft as a grain of sand,
he was a good christian and a very special man.

"rhyming poetry...ugh! your "poem" reminds me of the prayers we had to sing/rhyme at morning assembly at my jesuit school. the poem invokes no picture in my head of your grandpa, but it does of you as a pretentious man." -- sunny, dc, usa.
"This jerk has nothing sacred. All I am doing is following his steps ( he hangs out on "New Titles") and has made himself the "Mania critic". He annihilated me twice, because I'm on the new titles list. I would complain to Admin. if I were you.He needs to be stopped. btw-great tribute!" -- Brian.
"Sunny is obviosly a miserable person just trying to spred misery around and never has anything constructive to say. I wouldn't pay any attention to Sunny's ramblings. " -- Jay.
"To Sunny, dc: Goto hell!!!" -- Randy Johnson.
