My grandfather melted away <br />And resolved himself into a dew. <br />That mountain of a man <br />Now left asunder <br />A titan falling <br />And quaking the earth below <br />He was my hero <br />Now vanquished <br />By time <br />By smoke <br />And by Mr. Parkinson. <br />Now perhaps, I wish <br />He holds a greater light <br />Above the stars <br />And illuminates <br />My life from ages to come <br />My devoted Y-linked friend <br />And I, the inheritor <br />Of his devotion's past.<br /><br />Denis Kucharski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-grandfather-melted-away/
