You Left Too Soon. Poem by Tony Adah

You left me so soon
And you caused my eyes
To weep real sore
You abandoned the covenant
We had to make me a grandfather
Perhaps it was not your fault
For those teaching hospital staff
Hid some thing from us
That I think if we knew
You would still be here
Cuddling my grandchild.

Somehow you are free
From my blame
Who am I?
Than a mere instrument
Of you coming here
The owner is beyond
Upon a great throne
And I'm sure this is where you are.

You left me without a Word
Where do you
Want me to stay and wait
Until I have my own call?
What do you want me
To eat now?
That the world is such
A tasteless place to wait
And I am waiting
Waiting to join you one day!
