A Grandfather’s Grief
A Grandfather’s Grief
As the clock struck midnight, a terrible blow,
Grandfather’s heart shattered, in anguish it did grow.
His schoolboy grandson, his light and his joy,
Struck down too soon, by fate’s cruel ploy.
The New Year’s fireworks, a spectacle of cheer,
Became haunting reminders of a life no longer here.
A daze has consumed this grieving kin,
Since that fateful moment, when his world grew dim.
Grandfather reminisces, of days gone past,
Of laughter and love, too beautiful to last.
But in memories cherished, his grandson lives on,
A beacon of youth, forever strong.
The pain may ebb, though it never truly fades,
For the loss is profound, like a relentless cascade.
But in the depths of sorrow, love’s light still shines,
Guiding this family through their darkest times.
In the hallowed embrace of each quiet night,
Grandfather finds solace, bathed in starlight.
For his grandson now rests, in heaven’s embrace,
A guardian angel, guiding his steps with grace.
