Grandad’s Ghost

Posted by John White on 23/3/2025, 2:53 pm

Grandad said he saw a ghost
Well - that’s what we were told
Perhaps he looked in a mirror
After all, he is quite old
When he told the family
We felt a chill and shivered
The cat's tail bolted vertical
And every whisker quivered
If he says he saw a ghost
That’s good enough for me
I think that l’ll go missing
When invited round for tea
My Grandad is quite a card
Always playing tricks
But I’ve noticed lately
He sports a Crucifix !

My wife passed a way in December, since then some weird things have happened, TV falling off unit in bedroom, pictures moved around and whilst my daughter was on the phone to me whilst she was cooking tea she mentioned it was her mams favourite meal, then she shouted that the minute she said that the light in the kitchen went off and came back on again, when she asked if the lights had gone off anywhere else in the house she was told no, cannot explain it !

Myself and my family are convinced she is watching over us, no logical answer to the things which are happening, she will know how much we are missing her !

Angel Wings
Perhaps it’s just an idle fancy
Because your memory clings
But I see a feather purest white
Then once again my sad heart sings
For in my imagination
The message that it brings
Is that you are watching over me
Breaking in your angel wings
So when I find one in my room
Or to my coat it clings
I sense your loving prescec
As you spread your zngel wings

Brought back many memories
I wrote this nearly 14 years ago
