For Grandpop
You were the epitome of strength and solidity
The whole world you brightened, not just mine
Your stories were told with unmatched lucidity
Though the laughter and fear would entwine
We all saw, we all knew the worst could come
But you smothered the pain with a smile each day
You called me beautiful, gave me courage and then some,
But no amount of courage could make you stay.
I’m broken. My heart hurts. Goodbye.
