The term "grandparents" refers to the parents on either the maternal or paternal side of the family. The term grandparent refers to a person's father or mother's parents. Grandparents have always played a vital role in a family's life. A parent's position is frequently distinct from that of a grandmother or grandfather. Parents are their children's providers and disciplinarians. Grandparents generally have more time and freedom to enjoy and play with their grandchildren. The relationship between a grandmother and a grandchild is usually considerably simpler than that between a parent and a child. I know that some people don't like to celebrate their birthdays. Grandfathers may be susceptible to this because they may think that they are old or just don't want to be reminded of their age and the aging process. Finding a poem to read at your grandfather’s funeral may be a difficult task. How can you find the right words to describe how you feel? Here are some poems to consider. 16. “Remember” by Christina Rossetti

4. He Is Gone by David Harkins
This poem was written by Dennis Taylor from the perspective of a young boy whose grandad has died. Looking at loss through a child’s eyes, it is the younger generation that reassures the old. The title of the previous poem summarizes exactly what many of us receive from our grandfathers; love and guidance. With those two things, any grandchild can feel encouraged and motivated to do virtually anything. When a grandfather shows his grandchildren love and guidance, he is building their self-esteem. For those of us who have been privileged enough to have been brought up by our great-grandparents will know how caring and nurturing they are. They shower us with immense love, good food and also protect us from being scolded by our parents. Hence, make sure to wish your great-grandparents too on this grandparent’s day. Make them a beautiful card and recite the above poems for them to make them feel special and remembered. Every chance you get, tell your grandpa that he is beloved and treasured. Thank him for the sacrifices he made for his family. Tell your grandpa that you love him. Share one of these grandfather birthday poems with your loving grandpa. Whether he is turning 50, 60, 70, or 100, he will appreciate a short rhyming birthday poem.
Mostly attributed as “author unknown,” poet Melissa Shreve said she wrote this poem for her grandma’s funeral. It comforts the grieving with beautiful thoughts of a new life in Paradise, free from earthly pain.
6. A Poem for My Grandad by Dennis Taylor

In the final lines of the poem, the speaker says that he chooses to use a different tool for his work — a pen. 4. “Grandfather” by D.C. Berry As these lines how, while we may be sad that she has died, we can take comfort from the idea that she may still be watching out for us from Heaven. The title is often modified to She Is Gone and was chosen by the Queen for the Queen Mother’s funeral in 2002. The above poem could also be shared at the funeral of a great grandfather. You may even read it out during his eulogy. It will probably be emotional when reading it out, however it's fairly short (only 3 stanzas) so I know you can do it. Your grandfather will want you to remember him, but at the same time, go on with your life. This poem is a reminder to you and the other mourners at your grandfather’s funeral that “Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.” 17. “Footprints on the Sands of Time” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
