In your memory

I no longer recall the time we spent together,
yet my heart pines for your presence,
I wish I told you how much I love you and miss you.

I no longer can feel the warmth of your hand ruffel my hair,
yet the flashes of our play still warm my heart,
I wish I told you how much I love you and miss you.

I no longer fear crosssing a road on my own,
yet insecurities of daily life trouble me without your wise counsel,
I wish I told you how much I love you and miss you.

I no longer pray to god as you had taught me to,
yet you are in my prayers in tough times,
I wish I told you how much I love you and miss you.

I never had any pictures of us together,
yet your imprints on my heart remind me that you are forever within me,
I wish I told you how much I love you and miss you.

I never will see you in this world I know,
yet I am sure that you await me in the next,
I wish I told you how much I love you and miss you.


- Your loving grandson
