Poem
The best writters write about what they know So i was told or so the story goes So what better then to write about than one's very own family and lasting memories So let me start by saying this is neither a good or happy one to tell And to this day still leaves a bitter taste and so many questions left unanswered And is about or revolves around the treatment of my grandad by his only son My Mum is one of 2 children 7 year's older than her younger brother Thomas Who used to visit his daughter lisa regularly who lived right next door adjacent to his childhood home And when seeing him pulling up the smile upon my granddad face as he used to think our Thomas will be calling in to see us when he is done only to be replaced by pain and embarrassment when he cruely drove away People used to say and it was widely thought or known in jest that i was my granddads favorite But i knew that sadly wasn't true and my place when he looked right through me and nothing i could do say could reconcile his broken heart Luckily my Mum came home to live and look after her father and nursed him until the day he died when he eventually called in The prodigal son then returned with will in hand to take over proceedings from here on in Better late than never i suppose ? Oh yeah that's right Sorry that phrase does not apply in this case As to why you let him die or go to his grave without explaing ? What exactly he could have done so wrong to have had such a bitter vindictive son ? Just how cruel and careless can 1 human be to another than not to afford them 1 single moment of your precious time No final word no venting no getting off your chest no restitution no absolution You used to go out with his best friend for a pint to the pub for a drink but never invited him And told your sister upon her arrival back to look after him you can come and stay with us you can't stay with him his house is not liveable in You through whom i ended up buying and owning the deeds to your family home because that you grew up in as a child because you valued money and wanted your share and half Who you eventually came to realize that which you prize I now own i will never sell back to thee Because what you did to my granddad your father was genuinely unforgivable
