i miss you
the robin just went a bit too far this time
i'm reminded you in my mother, brother
their smiles
eyes
hug
it's like yours.
mum always says i didn't know the real you
when you were young
but i don't think so.
i believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder
you are remembered differently
by everyone you meet,
that's so special.
i'm so many people
to so many people.
you are too
to gran,
you're her husband
the man she loves most
the man who took longer to get ready than her
the man who went to the disco with her
the father to her child
the love of her life
to mum,
you are the best man in the world
you're the kind of dad she could brag about
you are so cool in her eyes
you are a race car driver,
handy man
ice cream man
she still tells me about the time you took her to the beach
how happy she felt
to me,
you're the man who told me off for wearing shoes off the mat
you're the man who gave me a hug every time he saw me
no matter how awkward
you're the man who ate cheerios off the floor
the man with the square arm chair
the lunchbox guy
the man who stood in his porch every time i left
and waved me off
we all miss you
more than i can describe
it hurts to see how much it it makes those we love hurt
the way seeing a robin can make my week
the way mum got a bird feeder named after you
the way i cry when someone calls me a star
because i'm not their star
i'm yours
i love you more
you're so wonderful
i'm really glad i got to know you
your love
i'm so proud to be your favourite granddaughter
even if i am the only one
by o.p.
i miss you
