So Long For Now Poem by shenika vermaak

You look so peaceful lying there
With your hands folded upon your chest.
You look like you are sleeping
But you are at eternal rest.
So Long For Now.

Not a hair out of place,
Your make-up nicely done,
A beautiful smile upon your lips -
For now you are with Absalom.
When someone special passes on
It does not mean they are gone,
Though they are no longer with us
Their memory still lives on.
It hurts so much to lose a friend -
Especially one that is trustworthy and kind.
grandpa, you were that special friend,
A rare and special find.
grandpa, you will always be with me
In spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in my heart
Forever until the end of time.
grandpa, I will not say 'Good-bye'.
This is not the end.
So I will just say, 'So long...'
Until we meet again.
