a note goodbye

deep blue evening above the clouds
and in the graveyard
one more quiet grave beneath the elm tree.


i could only feel glad, today,
that your eyes were closed.
you, who could barely say goodbye
after a weekend visit,
would have found this parting unbearable.


tears coming now, grandpa,
but i wanted to thank you.

thank you for the memories...
they are worthy of keeping.
