Grandpa

A Poem by Inkybro

From day one, I've looked up
And wished that I was you
You captured my attention
And made sure I listened
And nurtured my mind, too

Papa, I'm growing up
And I know you know it's true
I wish I knew you better
I wish you'd give up smoke
And give up drinking, too

Looking into your eyes
I can see a million lives
And a road a billion miles
The journey you call life
