The sunset you painted for me
Looked beautiful today.
Almost as grand as the sound of your laugh
And as bright as that smile I miss everyday.
Nothing could’ve prepared me
For this pain in my chest
That hasn’t gone away
Ever since you took your last breath.
I know you’re not in pain anymore,
And with that, I have much relief.
Then I remember again that your gone,
And my heart fills with grief.
I wish I could hold your hand one more time.
Take one more walk in the park.
Feel your embrace around me.
Eat one more meal. Have one more talk.
Even still, how lucky am I
To have lived life with you!
You persevered through the hardest battle
Anyone has every fought through.
You’ve shown me courage and strength
In your hardest days,
And humility, compassion and love
Was the cornerstone of your ways.
That sunset today
Felt like a glimmer of you—
As if you were right beside me,
Watching it too.
I’ll be strong, just as you were,
But, Grandpa, I long for the day,
We’ll meet again in Heaven
Face-to-face.
Your arms will welcome me,
Just as they have so many times before.
All pain and sorrow erased.
The agony of your death, no more.
Ded. My Grandpa
