Grandad

It's been so long since iv seen you,
You have always been there for me,
Just for a shoulder to cry on,
I can still picture your smile , your laugh and your song
You were here when I left you ,
And now your gone.

When I'm alone to sit and think of you , I imagine I have come to see you
I walk through the door
Sit on the floor beside your chair and tell you of my journey, I know you dear to hear.
I stand and tower over you to give you a hug and a kiss
The sweet tobacco I truly miss.

How I wish I could see you one last time
The simplest things of what your like.
To see you walk then stop to take a breath,
The way you stand in the door way with your arm up high to rest
And watch you stick your few bottom teeth out and scrap your top lip while you reach for your hanky .
To see your eyes light up to the love and warmth your dog brings
The small wonders of life so many people miss.

You gave so much to us kids
The love maybe you missed given to your own kids, coz the joy of being a grandparent is to try made amends later in life when you have the time to give
And your love kept us strong

I feel so lost without you
I never tried hard enough to get home
I so regret
I'm only to blame for not seeing you through to the end.
I love you and wish I could be with you
Or at least to hold you when you took your last breathe.

It seemed in slow motion, She never touched the ground, Memories flooded like an ocean, Through my ears the sound, Many years have passed, Soul sisters we always were, How did it all go so fast, All...

Under The Bed

There's no monster under my bed. Just a box of memories that lurk instead. Memories of her. Of a happier time. No one's memories but mine. They wait for me to venture under.

Harbinger

The joy of many escapes so few, To what we cling on to, The sound of a loved one calling our name, The smell that initiates a nerve of remembrance, How so many angels are removed from this earth.

When you were here. Back at the start. You held me near. And you had my heart. When cold you'd be my heater. You'd just hate my toes. You'd always warm me. And with your lips you'd warm my nose.

Back In The Day...

Sat on a bench with a notepad and pen. I sprawl down our fun that we had back then. Dancing together on a luscious night. Watching the sunrise, the yellow so bright.
