Abuelo

Kind, Strong, Sweet, Smart, Handsome, Amazing, And everything good there is; and if there are bad things that he had or did, I don’t recall. He was the only one I truly loved, Really from the bottom of my heart. I never felt so much warmth, And real, Genuine kindness from anyone. He was my partner in crime, My best friend in all of my adventures and mischiefs. He understood me by just looking into my eyes, As I understood him. I never had to talk about my problems, For he understood what I needed without me having to say. He would always bet on me, Even when I wasn’t betting on myself, Which would by feeling how he believed in me, Made me believe too. He made me want to excel and be a better person. Even though I let everyone down, Every day of my life, I still feel he wasn’t disappointed. He was proud of me. He loved me, Amazingly, He really loved me, With flaws and all, He never criticised me. He was my favourite person in the universe. I was the best part of me when I was with him; And he took that with him when he left, He is an inspiration to me, And if not for myself and those around me, It will be for him that I will strive to reach my goals.
