Dear Pappy - My Beloved Grandfather,

Love still shimmers in the air for you
Gone too soon from our lives
Your smile, your humor
Every piece of you in our minds

I must confess something burning in my chest
This will not be easy to say
Or for you to hear
Pain still lingers but no tears were shed

Crying is natural they say
And yet, I have not let a single tear drop
Am I broken?
Maybe I was just prepared

Gone too soon
It wasn't his time
But it was, you were never meant to be without her
Your everything, be together now and always
