Grandad

skyebellasario

Do you have any idea what I would do

For a simple five minutes with you?

I dream about us talking 

And sharing our memories.

 

Do you have the same echoing giggle

As me?

 

Do we share the same thirst for

adventure?

 

It pains me to know,

I will never hear your

supposedly booming voice.

 

I will never be able to share 

My dreams with you.

You won’t attend my graduation 

Or see me marry 

The love of my life.

 

But there is a glowing light,

Shining at the end of the tunnel.

As I know 

No matter where I go.

 

You are peering through the clouds

And helping me earn my angel wings.

So when the time comes,

We can finally meet in a place 

Other than my dreams.

    Skye, being a grand-dad myself, your beautiful and tender poem speaks to me. Can only hope that my grand-kids will think of me the way you do about your grand-dad.
    Thank you for a very uplifting and joyful poem!

      Thank you Fred! I am positive your grand kids love and admire you as much as I do mine despite never having the pleasure of meeting him

      Your grand-dad is always with you in your heart. He even sees this write and you've made him proud. ; )
