A Poem for Grandad

Without A Sound.

On hearing of your passing,
I didn't know what to think or say.
I kept asking those around me,
hoping to be shown the way.

When I saw you sleeping,
so peaceful and free from pain,
I could not wish to bring you back to us,
and to suffer with all that again.

Twenty three years you were in my sight,
now all i can do is hold those memories tight.
I ahve never lost a person close to me before,
especially one like you, whom i truly adore.

As our tears continue to flow,
and we try to get used to you not being around.
We share our memories and a favourite photo,
I know you are there, watching and listening....
Only now it's all out of sight and without a sound.

RIP Grandad.
23.5.1930 - 21.6.2010
