Poem Title:
Poem
A girl named Emilee, bright as the day. With a mother’s embrace, she learned to be strong, But the absence of a father felt like a song. A melody missing, a note out of tune, Yet love found a way, like the sun through the gloom. Her granddaddy came with a heart full of grace, A gentle old man with a warm, loving face. He taught her of kindness, of courage, of dreams, With stories that sparkled like sunlit streams. He showed her the world through a father’s kind eyes, In his laughter, she found her own joyful skies. But time, like a thief, took him far away, Leaving Emilee’s heart in a shadowy fray. The day that he left, the world felt so cold, A bond that was precious, now a memory to hold. She thought she would shatter, her spirit would break, For losing her granddaddy felt like a earth quake. Yet in the stillness, where sorrow once lay, His love wrapped around her, a warm, soft bouquet. In whispers of wind, in the rustle of leaves, She felt him beside her, in all that she believes. Each day she remembers, each moment she keeps, His laughter, his wisdom, in her heart, it seeps. Now as she watches her children at play, She sees her granddaddy in their smiles every day. In the twinkle of eyes, in the way that they laugh, His spirit lives on, in Emilees path. Though the ache of his absence will never quite cease, In the faces of her children, she finds her peace. So Emilee carries the love that he gave, A legacy woven, a bond that won’t cave. In the tapestry of life, where memories blend, Her granddaddy’s love is a light without end. Though he’s gone from this world, in her heart he will stay, A father’s love shining down in such a beautiful way.
