In Memoriam: Unnamed

The second poem in the "In Memoriam" series, for my grandfather who passed away in Feb. 2012.

You left the
Fairy-tales untold
Lullabies unsung
Photos untouched

I left my
Questions unasked
Beliefs unchallenged
Poems unread

We left
Garden paths untrodden
Ripe mangoes uneaten
Paper boats unmade

Now all you have left is
An eternity beneath the earth
And all I have left is a wish 

To undo all that we left undone.

Author's Note

I'm sorry the white flags of truce were raised too late for us to know each other very well, grandad. I get the feeling we would have had loads of fun.

I have just come from the first in this series and am touched by the care you have taken to remember. It is sad that you could not have had more time with him, and known him as they have told you about how he was. Grandparents are very special links to the past, and they bless us with wisdom and lessons in growing through the stages of life.

I wish I had more time with him too... but the past is the past and I can't do anything but mourn him, can I?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reviewing the poem.
