He looks at me with his terribly sad eyes

Furrows and wrinkles of different size

Creating a face of paralizing fear

Even without words his meaning is clear

Every breath I take whispers her name

When she went away it was never the same

The void that she left no other woman could fill

Will you tell her this, that I love her still?

A tear rolls out of the corner of his smile

From a memory he hadn't thought of in a while

His minds not always sharp anymore

But she's the only one he ever had eyes for

I hold his hands as he starts to reminisce

About the first time they met and their very first kiss

His face starts to change, his eyes start to twinkle

The love that she gave him was not just a sprinkle

We'll do this today and we'll do it tomorrow

It's the best way I know to ease his sorrow

And even though he no longer remembers me

He's still my Grandad, he's still my family.
