I’m not sure where to start
Where do I even begin
to describe the man I loved
a love that came from within
Growing up I never came close to
knowing his actual value
until I sat down by his side
and learnt the story of his life
he took my hands in his frail arms
looked me deep in the eye
said no one could do me no harm
it was always hard to say goodbye
“I love you” he told me,
every time we met
“I love you too” I said,
wanting no regrets
he was patient, he was kind
he was brave, he was strong
he taught me the importance of time
Why the hell did everything go wrong
Cancer reared its ugly head
it confined him to his bed
and we watched in horror
as he fought to see tomorrow.
Now he’s gone
to a place far better
the battle is over
there is no victor
He has gone to join his brother
Once again they have each other
Now heaven is a place wealthy with
the souls of both my grandfathers
