Grandfather Poem
My great grandpa passed away in May. And ever since then I replay the vision of my last visit to his house. I have had such a hard time trying to get over it, so I started writing poems about our relationship and this is just one of them.
My Last Visit

Alexis Abraham
It's time,
to say goodbye.
I'm so upset,
my mouth has gone dry.
Slowly I bend over,
and give you a kiss.
your blue eyes filled with sadness,
the time I spent together I will miss.
When I pull away,
with this pain in my heart.
I don't want you to leave me,
I don't want to be apart.
Sadly I know,
this goodbye means forever,
we have so many memories,
that I will always remember.
The drive back home,
was the saddest I ever had.
I cried so hard,
I felt so bad.
I prayed that God,
would let you stay.
But eventually He took you,
far away.
It's all for the best,
I learned to face.
you are free from pain,
and in a better place.
your memory is alive,
to this day.
I love you so much poppi
even though your far away.
I know you look down on me,
and still love me with all your heart,
a bond so strong,
it will never break apart.
Please remember me,
and all the good times.
For I love you so much,
I put it in rhyme.
