Grandfather Figure.

I hate how

life will just go on

tomorrow

as if you did not die today...

as if it is a normal thing...

as if one goodbye was enough...

as if all the thanks have been said...

Yet death must come,

for men have been appointed to die once,

and then comes judgement.

Take care,

Aunty _________

your beloved whom

you left behind.

Thank you

for always greeting me

and encouraging me

probably even before

I went to primary school

and even until I've started working

You are like

a grandfather figure in a way

Distant but surely there

always to smile and share

Thank you

for everything.
