I Was There

My grandpa has always been old
I met him old and I lost him older.
He used to sing to me
About a house near the beach
A house without doors but full of windows
A house with people you can't hug.

Yesterday I found it
I found the house near the beach
It's broken and has a door,
It's empty and lost her job
He was there, standing still
Full of song about a house 
Way too much old.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
