When I cried,
You'd wipe away my tears.

When I was Frightened
you'd hold my hand tight.

That hand as steady as God's,
A smile as luminous as a diamond,

That kindness overflowing
That love that cradled our family.

But a kiss on the forehead,
Is what I miss the most

My grandfather "Papa" as my family would call him died in 2001. I loved him very much. This poem is dedicated to those who have lost their loved ones.
