Violently shaking straight out of the womb, But you were right there to sooth my nerves. Violently shaking on the very first moon, But you were right there to lull the cresting waves. Violently shaking for twenty moons, And you were always there to calm the rising tide. Violently shaking on the twenty first moon, And you are no longer here to save me from being washed out to sea.
I wrote this on the eve of my first birthday without my grandpa. He will always be missed.
