My Grandfather

A man with a smile,
Lights up the skies,
With blue sparkles,
That shine in his eyes.
One more dream,
To be with him,
But a loss in the family,
Blocks within.
On one night,
March 27 2001,
A man lost his life,
And the family was done.
At the waking,
When I looked in his eyes,
It was the same man,
With the smile,
That still lights up the skies.
