To My Grandpa's Spirit

The poem -- "To My Grandpa's Spirit"

I indeed could never believe

That you would desert us forever;

Would you please bless me,

You stay wherever?

Wish and pray to our Lord,

“May your soul rest in peace,

Forever, in His loving lap,

After this event, your decease.”

Now, I feel all alone,

Though, I have everyone except you;

I do not want to roam in solitude,

As, I admire you; it’s true.

I know, the entire house

Has lost its reverberating effect,

As you have gone away, O, Grandpa;

About death, I have no concept.

I can not trust the fact yet now,

In spite of hearing the ill news;

The scene of your corpse, was

More woeful than all other views.

Now, my melancholy soul

Wishes to give you a tribute;

I know, death can only scare,

But, has no power to dilute.

Please pardon my adamancy,

If I have ever misbehaved,

During your lifetime;

Hope, His brilliancy,

Would relieve your ashes or grave,

For my spirit’s tune to chime.
