Ashley Gleason Poet Light Verse

Grandfather

Living One's life
Demanding respect
Just to end up shriveled and barely breathing
In a hospital bed
Touching so many people 
and creating a grand family
To forget it years later 
with a horrible disease

I am so sorry
That you have to go
But i won't make you stay
Because you suffer so
I am so sorry to let you leave
But i know you would understand
For so long, we have grieved

Goodbye, know that we Love you
Now, close your eyes tight
We will never forget our Grandfather
So, please just rest tonight
