This poem is dedicated to my grandpa.
I love you!
~*~In Loving Memory~*~
Over the summer
Something got me sad.
My grandpa died
But still, I didn't cry
I didn't know him too well,
But I hope he's not in Hell
For I want him to be
In a good place...Unlike me
Everyday when he left from the bars
He would look left and right
To make sure there was no cars
Everyday, he would make it home and be tucked in bed
tight
He memorized the steps
From the place that he slept
To the bars and back again
Looking both ways for cars
But one day I hear
He's not seeing clear
He's dying in the hospital
Only 60 years old, only 88 pounds
Though it's been 5 months,
I still remember the day
As though it was just yesterday
But he never knew who I was
But I remember him
As he lay down so thin
He lay in the casket
Like a sandwich, in a basket
I remember the day
For it was near
A special day
My thirteenth birthday
