Dear Grandma and Grandpa, How's the Earth looking from up there? I bet you wouldn't even bother about the livings anymore, I bet you couldn't wait for the Heaven; the eternity Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Forgive me, For every time I see a butterfly perched on my window I always thought that was you missing me Forgive me, For every time I see a cat around the backyard I always thought that was you visiting and checking up on me Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Now I'm at peace, realizing that you are free from any physical pains; As you are no longer burdened by your glaucoma or sudden heart attack As your fragile skins won't have to be bruised when you coincidentally knocked on the table As you won't have to feel headache each time you're overwhelmed by the thoughts of your family Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Still, it doesn't feel right for my brain to comprehend that My childrens won't ever get to hear the warmth of your voices; Tasting the overburnt eggs and noodles you used to make; Watching your favorite old movies in the afternoon; Playing with the wrinkles on your hands; or making fun of your white hair Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I know you will never know about this But I'm down on my knees Silently pray inbetween the night and the dawn; So that the angels will not be too harsh on you In hereafter

An Ode to The Dead
Dear Grandma and Grandpa, How's the Earth looking from up there? I bet you wouldn't even bother about the livings anymore, I bet you couldn't wait for the Heaven; the eternity Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Forgive me, For every time I see a butterfly perched on my window I always thought that was you missing me Forgive me, For every time I see a cat around the backyard I always thought that was you visiting and checking up on me Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Now I'm at peace, realizing that you are free from any physical pains; As you are no longer burdened by your glaucoma or sudden heart attack As your fragile skins won't have to be bruised when you coincidentally knocked on the table As you won't have to feel headache each time you're overwhelmed by the thoughts of your family Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Still, it doesn't feel right for my brain to comprehend that My childrens won't ever get to hear the warmth of your voices; Tasting the overburnt eggs and noodles you used to make; Watching your favorite old movies in the afternoon; Playing with the wrinkles on your hands; or making fun of your white hair Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I know you will never know about this But I'm down on my knees Silently pray inbetween the night and the dawn; So that the angels will not be too harsh on you In hereafter
