He stands
Too close to the television
Jingling the change
In his pockets
In deep thought
He bites his tongue

His presence brings a sort of comfort
I would never know again
His step is so strong
And sure
I never knew
It could falter
You could never tell
He wouldn’t live forever

I didn’t know I had a war hero in my home
All I knew was that
I had a protector,
Ally,
Friend,
And grandpa once

Once upon a time
