So long, Farewell

I saw a tear in your eye,

And I wonder why,

You're starting to cry.

I saw you kneel down and pray,

making everything,

seem OK.

His face so cold and pale,

I look at everyone,

And they have started to whail.

I don't understand what is going on,

I really don't know,

But now I realize he's gone.

Dedicated to Grandpa.
