Boom Boom
I was taught life
I was taught life
I was taught love
kindness
strength
By my Grandpa
I said “Teach me Boom Boom” When he read the newspaper
When he tied his shoes
When he got the candy
He always knew what to do …
What to say…
You could see his soul
His eyes told a story
When he smiled it was like you and he were the only one’s who mattered
You’d hold his hand and know he’d never let go
He was fighting a war only Doctor’s could see…He lost
It all happened so fast
My grandma called…
My mom looked lost…
Right then I knew…
His soul was at the funeral…
In the eyes – laughs…
The voice that said it was ok…
I knew it was
From the first time my Boom Boom held out his hand---
I Never Let Go
