Poem Title:
Poem
On the day that you left us I did not shed a tear Not cause I was happy I'm quite sure it was fear I was afraid to cry To show people that feeling So I held my head high Looking up at the ceiling I held my mom As tears fell from her cheek and smiled when I found out She'd be gone till next week I was happy she left To say one last goodbye While Mary and I stayed home And still I did not cry I played my part well Staying strong for my mom I was her shoulder to cry on Because you were gone Yet at night I would lay In my bed wide awake When I was all alone That's when my shoulders would shake When no one could see me I would cry on and on I would cry for the memories Sad cause you were gone To the world a brave face All alone I was scared To show such emotion Was more than I dared Then one day I relized I'd made a mistake Then with my mom right beside me My shoulders started to shake For why should I hide All alone in my room I was merely a child And I loved you too I felt a lot better After I'd cried After I'd mourned the fact that you'd died Being strong for my family That I will still do Yet now I will make sure That I can cry too Goodbye papa I'll see you again Gone may mean forever But it's never the end IN MEMORY OF "PAPA" THE BEST GRANDFATHER I HAVE EVER KNOWN (july 12th 2012)
