Dedication

I watched you die Though you had always been there Since I first came into this world Outside people smile I ask - why this deep blue sky? When you have left this world today Does it not know when to weep? All my life I've looked up to you A humble old man who always knew No one can ever be closer to God than you So who could fill this void I still can't believe that you are not around That your warm voice won't make another sound Sure I understand, but I never will accept That you should be gone I watched you die And I have feared this moment Since I was just a child So why that sunny sky? When my beloved grandfather Lies dead here cold and still?
