I remember the day , I didn't know what to say, stuck for words, everything seemed so blurred, I murdered a hug but people just shrugged I pretended I was ok but I have to say it didn't last too long just for the day,

No moment goes by that I don't wish you were here , lay awake at night trying to fight the tears, wishing you would come home , prove I'm not alone,

We'll meet again someday so they say and I pray that then you will stay, just hoping you're okay and at rest, the big man only takes the best, when he took you he passed that test

We all miss you like mad trying not be sad, put on a brave face just like dad .. To see you one more time would mean the world but maybe it would ruin the surprise of the future

When our day comes at least we know that we have a safe place to go with someone who cares I know you're up there somewhere watching me write this and keeping me safe telling me you're in a good place.
My very first poem I wrote after my grandad past away in 2010
She stood out on the balcony:
I noticed for perhaps the first time
that she was made of certain things,
complicated things,
but then again
aren't complicated things
the best things,
and so it was that I watched her,
and whilst I watched
she began to transform.

Her brown hair turned hues;
fire and winter and lightning
all at once.
Her hands became starlight,
and in her eyes
I gazed galaxies yet unexplored.

And all at once
humanity came flooding back in.
I too
wanted to change
whatever it was
that I was changing into.

— The End —
