I LOST HIM

He takes my hand and he says let's go
To the store we go
Gentle hands brush my piggy tails

But today tears fall...

Ice cream for my girl
A strawberry and chocolate swirl
Little eyes look up at this caring face
Aged but beautiful nonetheless

But today tears fall...

Not for "my girl"! Not for "my girl"! 
The little mouth says
Ice cream for me! Not for "the girl"!  
I want that ice cream yummy swirl! 

But today tears fall...

Well, you are my girl!
You silly little pearl
Come take my hand
Let's play candy land

But today tears fall...

The best friend ever
The caregiver
The story teller
He is my protector

But today tears fall...

Wrinkled lines tell of hard times
White hairs show time has passed
When this old soul smiles
The sun shines 

But today tears fall...

Today the smile is no more
Today it rains it pours
Today is dark and cloudy

And the tears keep falling...

***REST IN PEACE, GRANDPA! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. TODAY, 10.31.11 YOU WENT TO HEAVEN***

I'm very sorry for your lost. No words can make you feel better. Need to write down the good times into a book you shared with your Grandpa. We must remember the good people who loved us in a life. He sound like a good man. I hope you are OK.

Heartfelt! It touches the reader deeply to read this. Memories of a lost one are hard to cope with. I'm sorry about your grandfather. May he rest in peace.

This is just so beautiful, heartfelt, perfect and so much more that words can't describe. Everything about it is just so..... I am at a loss for words, this is amazing

Losing somebody is a troubling and emotionally confusing experience. It's an important part of life though, for things to leave and take their go. It solidifies their existence, making all their work they've left behind important. Without death, human life is worthless... only cause with death, human life becomes everything that's important through the memories they leave behind in our conscience.
I know how you feel, and this is how I deal with it, by reasoning with our existence, and I hope it helps ya feel a bit better as it did with me.

But as for the poem, it has a subject that I hold dear, and not to mention it is a wonderful constructed piece of poetry with that meaning intact with it. The thought of someone dear, the one that was always there, fading away to somewhere you can't be with them... it's a thought, a conscience stream that hits even the toughest of men and makes them fall to the ground.
Enjoyed your piece ^_^ 100/100 rating no doubt.

This may be the most touching thing I have
ever read.
It is extremely well written with passion and love.
I love what you have said.
It tells me so much about you. What a fine and
tender person. Gentle , kind and understanding .
You will always write with distinction, because you are great.
