At the Time

At the Time

We told him you were gone
to a place above and beyond.
We received but a simple nod.

He never got the chance to say goodbye
to a grandpa he loved with all his heart.
As the years passed, he began to cry
for your absence was tearing him apart.

He asked about you day and night,
but when the grass went from green to white
reality hit him with all its’ might.

He wondered where you were
so that night we showed him the brightest star.
We told him that was grandpa’s halo
for he had left us many years ago.

He’d look out the window each and every night
and up to the sky that glowed from starlight
just so he could say goodnight.

He cried for days, tear after tear
and that’s when it became clear.
Grandpa he misses you
and there’s nothing I can do.

At the time you passed he was only five
and when we said you were gone
he did not understand
that you weren’t coming back.
