A sonnet for my Granddad
Pray, and a message you’ll receive,
Sitting unconvinced of eternal love and devotion,
Abandoned in a confinement of grief,
Weary of further exploration into this emotion;
Peace has become seemingly unattainable,
Occasional memories bring me to tears,
Consumed with a mindset that’s unsustainable,
The misuse for your existence in the last few years;
Possessing a personality as large as life,
Inherited from a soul refusing to adjust,
A continuation forward through internal strife,
Guarded by wisdom forged from two generations of trust;
Giving thanks to a God in heaven, from which all blessings flow,
For every aspect of you that I loved and the quirks that I did not know
