A Grandfather I Never Saw
Five days before I was born,
my dear grandfather was gone.
Not knowing the cause
why he went .
There was a pause
through which i was sent
oh father! oh father !
cried my mother .
Was it to take him
Oh god!
you sent me without a word
i thought
By came an old woman
whose hands were weak and swollen.
She said with a smile-
When one light goes mild ,
another light will shine.
then i knew -
Even though i never saw him,
he lives deep in my heart
where his soul never dies.
