A friends dedication to her brother brought back some memories.
Thank you Haseen that was a beautiful piece (I am dreaming of you)
Continued strength and faith...


GRAND-DAD

When you died my faith was tested
My apologies, forgive me God I failed
I made a cowards move
Instead of finding strength in him, I bailed

I was so mad when He took you
You were a man to be looked up too
A very rare man in my life
How was I suppose to continue

Honoring your memory
I came out of that dark place
I sat back to smile
Every time in my head I saw your face

Now from my life you are gone
I reluctantly learnt to live with that
It sometimes drove so far down
But then I felt in my heart I know where you're at

Now I accept you're in Heaven
I've gotten rid of that black cloud
Now, when you look down on me
I hope, above all else I make you proud

I can really relate to your poem. My adored Grandfather died when I was only 14, and not aware that it's okay to be mad at God for awhile. Glad you've made your peace with it.
God Bless,
Marlene
