the granddad i never had

my granddad, passed away at a considerably young age, even before my dad being the eldest got married. nonetheless, deep in our heart, we all know that he will be a really great grandfather had he been still around. memories of us, the grandchildren, playing around and being pampered by him will always remain a fantasy to us.

his voice we had never heard
his flesh we had never touched
his warmth we had never felt
his frozen smiles in black & white
are all we had to see

the grandad we never had.

remembering you always...
