Grandad\'s Shadow - Daisie-Lyn Fuller

May 17th 2014.

The day you joined heaven\'s team

And left my little world incomplete

Like a brick removed from the wall,

Still standing yet never the same.

 

Oh how I miss you

It\'s now 2022, and mum\'s getting married

You promised to walk her down the aisle

Now it\'s little Reilly giving her away instead

 

I think you\'d like the guy she found,

He\'s called Graham, sorry, Gee, and is quite tall like you

He\'s old too, well, not that old,

But he certainly loves us just as much as you do

 

But now it\'s my wedding day,

And you\'re nowhere to be found,

Yet you\'re remembered by a small table, with your picture in a frame,

A chair left ready for you to sit alongside me

 

Grandad, if you can hear me,

There\'s always a shadow of you,

A glimpse I can hold onto,

I miss you.
