Goodbye To Grandpa

Father to my mother. My heart hangs in your memory. A world without you always seems unbearable and scary, A dark abyss that seeks to smother. I grieve but i shall weep no more. You remain in my mind like a scar, A grotesque relic that stains my conscience. As you exit this domain i fare you well, choosing to applaud a life well lived .......................

Congratulations Ronny! This is a nice tribute to your grandpa, though like Andrea below, I was wondering about the scar. The loss of him like a scar, perhaps? That's how I interpreted the line. Blessings and Love, Rhonda

Congratulations, Ronny. It was interesting the line you wrote of him as a scar. I just know he must have been a wonderful person.

the scar means he can never leave my mind, he is branded in my mind.

He's now reborn to a youthful grace. Remember him with that sweet face. For he ran so well, this human race.
