Goodbye To Grandpa

Father to my mother.
My heart hangs in your memory.
A world without you always seems unbearable and scary,
A dark abyss that seeks to smother.

I grieve but i shall weep no more.
You remain in my mind like a scar,
A grotesque relic that stains my conscience.

As you exit this domain i fare you well,
choosing to applaud a life well lived

    Congratulations Ronny! This is a nice tribute to your grandpa, though like Andrea below, I was wondering about the scar. The loss of him like a scar, perhaps? That's how I interpreted the line. Blessings and Love, Rhonda

    Congratulations, Ronny. It was interesting the line you wrote of him as a scar. I just know he must have been a wonderful person.
