Tributes

The phone rang out and she called for me.
I hurried to find why she yelled painfully.
We cried as I drove, pain in out hearts.
I drove and drove, trying not to fall apart.
As we parked and climbed out, I still had hope.
Let it be a minor or even a major injury. We can cope.
In through the doors and shuffled into a small room.
This is not happening, not this soon.
He's invincible I confirmed, he can't be hurt.
But there was a doctor, my beliefs for him to convert.
My heart sank low, as if hiding away.
"I'm sorry, he didn't make it", I heard him say.
No! No! My Poppy! Why, God, Why?!
My eyes welled. My heart shattered. I began to cry.
And so I sit here and type three weeks later.
This heart of mine holding a giant crater.
I try to fill it with memories and poems like so.
But my Poppy is gone, and that's all that I know.
He's been there when I am sick and there when I am sad.
Through all the good and bad times that we've had.
So as I grow old and think back, I'll remember him as this.
Poppy, my Grandpa, the only true dad there is.
