Favorite Quote:
No Pain, No Gain!


My heart dripped in sadness,

as my Paw-Paw passed.

We played chess,

the only part of life we shared.



He hugged me with kindness,

and kissed me with care.

Whatever my emotion,

he was always there.



As he grew old, his body began to become twinge.

He never gave in to sickness or pains.

No matter what, he always had a smile.

That beam of light, lit up the whole room.



One day his body gave in.

Even when life left him,

He continued to smile.

My heart froze in despair.



Sun forever shines in this place,

Happiness surrounds those who are there.

Jesus called him and took him to a place,

a new home, Heaven.



My Paw-Paw was no longer with me,

My heart was now melted and cracked into thousands of pieces.

No one could comfort me.



He still lives in my heart.

And forever watches over me.

My Paw-Paw was my best friends. Seeing him go made me write this poem.
