I touch my grandfather's hand,
It is cold and unsoothing.

I feel his hand for the steady heartbeat,
There is none.

I speak to him in a gentle voice,
He doesn't answer.

I shake him desperately,
He does not react.

His lively spirit left the room...
My grandfather is dead.

My goal of writing this poem is to show to readers that you never know when you would lose a loving family member or friend. While your relations last, try to make the most of it!
