He is my Great-Grandfather

He is my Great-Grandfather
He lives in Wisconsin
I live in New Hampshire
He is old
I am young
He is lonely
I am too

He is the one who put the
worm on my fishing pole
I am the one who threw the
line into the water
He is the one who helped me
bring in my first fish
I am the one who thought it
was a great blue whale
When in reality it was a five inch sunfish

He is the one I love
He is the one I always will

He is my great-grandfather
I am his great-grandson
