All I Need
Crafted by large beautiful hands
scultped in the image of The Almighty
Loving me effortlessly
While I bathed in the womb of his daughter.
Spread love, care, and compassion across my wounds
I felt safe in his warm embrace.
But that embrace eventually turned cold.
Salted liquid burned through my corneas
Watching warm bodies dressing the rememberance
in flowers and ribbons and candles and love
Livng a lengthy life without my backbone
I grew in anger. Losing my Friend
My Hero
My King
My Grandfather,
I learned to love on my own
Fight on my own
Cried on my own
Until I found I was never alone
He was always a whisper away.
All I need is the glowing smile
of the one I hold near and Dear.
(I love you Grandpa.)
