Dear GrandpaA Poem by The Outlaws' SongFor my guardian angel...i miss you..
Dear grandpa, One day I went looking for you, But everything around me Seemed to keep your secret Please, grandpa, share it with me and tell me: Are you a cloud…,…or a leaf…,…or a mountain?
Dear grandpa, One night I left my home to look for you, But the dark outside rendered my way difficult. And the trees' shade hid you so well that I couldn't find you So, dear loved grandpa, please tell me: Are you a wave…,…or a root…,…or a star?
Dear grandpa, One summer I left my friends to look for you But the burning sun blinded my eyes It dried my skin and stifled me with its heat. So, grandpa, I beg you please tell me this: Are you a bug…,…or a flower…,… or a fly?
Dear grandpa, One winter I left my family to look for you, But the wind pushed me aside my way And the coolness broke me to pieces So, grandpa, have mercy and tell me: Are you a rain drop…,… or a snow flake…,… or a thunder?
Dear grandpa, When there was no place left to search, I thought to look for you among the animals But I didn't know where to look firstly: In the boundless heights of the sky, In the dangerous caches of the jungle, Or in the mysterious depths of the sea. So, I'd like you so much to tell me: Are you an eagle…,… or a tiger…,… or a shark?
Dear grandpa, One spring night found me thinking of you And lost In memories, staring to the moon I wondered: Grandpa of my heart Are you a timid ray…,…or a tiny shadow…,…or a tired ghost?
Dear grandpa, Surprisingly, after many restless nights, I fell asleep And when the old Sandman sent me to the land of dreams I asked you more ardently than ever Dear loved grandpa Are you the echo of my voice…,…or the sadness in my cries…,…or the fear in my eyes?
But, dear grandpa, When I woke up I realized that you're the angel on my shoulder For you're my dearest memory And no matter what else you may be You will always be beside me. There's no need to go that far looking for you Because you are in here, deep down inside my heart. © 2008 The Outlaws' SongFeatured Review
