My Grandpa

My Grandpa

I remember that day as if it wasn’t long ago, that call

Something bad has happened I heard, my heart thumped

What could have happened?

The words I heard hit me to the core

He has passed away, was all I heard

Nothing but my heart was sore, pain like nothing before

I knew he was sick, but how could it happen so fast

One day talked on the phone; and this would happen no more

Rushed to find a way to family far away

Tears rushed from my eyes, I wiped them clear

But these tears would not stop

To this day I do not forget

That day how I felt
