Grandpa
He was brilliant and radiant, full of light.
I could see right thru him and notice there wasn’t any fright.
He was tall and full of grey.
He always gave it his all, he was never the prey.
He was full of light, it shined throughout.
I knew he always loved me, there was never a doubt.
Now when I see him he’s not all there, he’s far away under someone else’s care.
