Drifting away

Drifting away

A Poem by Sammy
"

This is the first poem I wrote when I was 14. I was told my grandad had cancer and he didn't know that I knew and my only escape was poetry.

"
Wearing away with no one to help him stay,
Times are hard and he sometimes says
"Hope you have a good year"
As if he's not going to be here.

I keep looking watching him wearing away,
Skinnier and bonnier each and every day.

And who is this person you may say
A person I love too much to let drift away.

The evil clutch of death... It's never easy to see the person we love the most drifting away from us and we are unable unable to do anything for them... I can feel for you, right now my mom is in hospital, she is pretty sick but all I can do is prat for her goodness, even though my heart is breaking apart... I hope wherever your granddad is, he is watching over you... God bless you frnd...

Gee
Beautifully sad. Death at an early age is such a difficult part of life to deal with, not that it is any more pleasant as we age

Obviously a deeply personal poem, but one that any reader should be able to identify with. Written from the heart.
