A message for those who were left behind

He died with a smile, no regret in his eyes

Had a loving family with many grandkids

We will miss him, i know i will but grandma might never get over it.

 

He was a man with pride

Succeeded in everything he tried

Golden arms and a brilliant mind

A hero, one of a kind.

 

But there was something he hid

Something just wasn't right about him

Even during his memorial

I stepped forward as if i was called there

Put my palm on his chest and for a moment it seemed he was still with us.

 

It gave me a flashback from when i was younger

In our village there was a ****** or so was reported

The victim of that crime

Supposedly my grandpa, who was still kicking and alive

Was a weird time for everyone, contacting relatives

Telling he was fine.

 

I'm on a wheatfield, playing with my sister

A woman in the distance, looks a little frightened

Her mouth opens but can't hear a sound

Grandpa is calling, i turn around

Pointing at the tree where the woman was standing

But there's nothing

Must have been hallucinating.

 

We take a road back to home

My sister sitting on the shoulders

I reach my arm out for him to hold

Grandpa, why's your hand so cold.
