R.I.P.

i remember him laughing
every time i eat apples
he loved the green ones
i cant stop eating them

for that's a strong memory
i can still see him with me
while we ate and talked
about anything at all

many times i wept for him
although he wasn't well
cancer was eating his brain
death was just a relief

memories are slowly fading
i dream about him sometimes
they do hurt deep inside
but i dont want to leave him

Author notes

in memory of Alberto Heler, my grandfather who died.
i cant stop eating green apples, for i remember eating those with him, and i can really still feel like he's by my side when i eat them.

    This is truly touching
    To have this simple item to remind you of all the happy times you shared with your Grandfather
    I am so very sorry to hear that he has passed
    Your poem is a lovely tribute about your love you hold in your heart for him!
    I wish you all the best in the contest!

      thank you for the sweet cmment.
      i do miss him a lot, and green apples remind me of him
      that's the only bad thing about death
      i find it like.. the end, for which, the end of pain as well..
      thanks again for the comment =]
