Do you remember
Your childhood
Do you smile
When you think
About those long
Carefree days
I don’t
There’s nothing
Back then that
Makes me smile
There’s no reason
Too look back
With anything other
Than tears and anger
Except for him
The wise old man
The grandfather
The friend
The teacher
The hero
He who showed me
What love is
He who gave me
Every piece of wisdom
He who taught me
The meaning of life
He who never
Rejected or neglected me
Others may have
Thrown rocks
And ugly words
Others may have
Broken my heart
And left me for dead
But never him
The hero
The friend
The grandfather.
