No One Greater Poem by Khalil Breidi

My grand pa
once so great
energetic and tall

Now in a wheelchair
he sits all alone
seeming so small

He's no longer the man
I remember him to be
He was always so young
in my eyes, you see

Now reality has taken place
as I see the many lines
and permanent frown
etched on his face

He's lost his hunger
and drive for life
no longer finds joy
in his grand-kids
or wife

I long to see that twinkle in his eyes....
Once so clear and black
now they are but cloudy
and empty too

We've never really talked
or communicated well
he in his work-world
and me in my hell

Now that the end is drawing near soon
I regret never saying
I felt he 'hung the moon'

I pray each day
for just one more
knowing I should tell him
how much I adore
His character and strength
even though not as strong
as before

Maybe he knows
perhaps he sees
How much I love him
and need him to be
Here for me now
there for me later.....

I wish I could hug him
and tell him truthfully
There's no one Greater!

Note: my grand pa passed away along time ago. I got the idea bs took me time to write it
In the memory of Khalil Yihya Breidi
God bless you Grand Pa
