Flesh Of My Grandfather

M.M.- EIP

Soft spoken he was with a heart full of kindness,
Gentle and sweet his smile made you feel safe.
I don't remember much but all these are true,
Sometimes I wish my dad was more like you.
You cared for each one, none more than the other
They all loved you dearly, you made up for the mother.
Why couldn't he follow you the one fair and just?
He let me down too many times, too many times too much.
A man of such principles but he doesn't live them himself
I can't even hate him, he doesn't know himself.
Those years of turmoil and hurt he must have endured
But he should have known better to also let them be ours.
He speaks no truth, never a man of his words
But if I blame him I'd be so much more worst.
I know I love him but I want to like him
Everyday I forget a little and continue to pray he changes.
