Tribute to Grandpa -- 4th Anniversary


There he was, lying, eyes half-opened
His soul, wandering between light and darkness
I saw his eyes sparkled, smiling at me
But all of a sudden
He went into deep sleep

Nothing but a body of dampness
Not bounded to hell, would it be heaven?
I said, wake up, wake up, oh please open you eyes
You won't even budge, no, this isn't time!
The coldness of your flesh shivers my spine
I could do nothing, but cry

Why, why, why did you go?
You promised never leave me alone
You promised me sweets, toys, bedtime stories and all
You promised to see me grow up, to see me grow old

There is nothing left except dreams and memories
That come and haunt me every night, I couldn't sleep!
Remind me of those days, of me and you,
Of jokes and laughter, of every summer

May your soul rest in peace, my dear grandfather
May everything end well, just like fairytales
Happily ever after.

(Poem to be recited on Public Humiliation!)
