My Great Grand Father

I never met,

Though pictures depict his life,

He, was strong, He was audacious,

He is in my heart.

My serene great-grand father,

Seems like he’s miles away,

Though, he’s watching down on me,

Haven, is where he is,

Is where someday, far in the future…

I will meet him.

I look a lot like him,

great grand mother would say with a smile,

I could tell she missed him, the way she stared at me, with stars in her eyes.

I was told, by my mother…

Great grandmother enjoys to see me smile,

Because its just like his…

Therefore, when I visit her, I come with a profusion of smiles,

I act as if everything is ok,

Even if its not, as long as she’s happy.

My great grandfather,

He’s with me, always…

for the long run.
