For You

Who gave with your heart
simple joys like
taking a walk in the park
drawing a picture
laughing at a movie

Who taught by your example
more than what, but how
at the time I did not grasp
your courage and vision

Six years now without you
wanting dreams with you
trying to conjure
the feeling you gave me

love spilled over
into my own hands
their softness now caresses
your grandson
