On the death of a Grandfather


Nobody Knows I am here

A stunning poem from the heart by an 8 year old

Nobody knows I am here
But the fluttering butterflies
And a buzzing bee collecting
Pollen
I put my hand in the wonderful,
Glittering water. Oh what's
There. A dragonfly on my
Finger
I feel a gentle warm breeze
On my back

I taste the lovely
Cherries on the cherry tree
I smell the lovely smell
Of perfume from a rose.
I come here because
I am sad my Grandad
Has died
I hear the splashes of water
From the water fall

I feel the water again
It feels like silk and nice
The leaves feel really hairy
And veiny
The sliminess of
The mossy stones

I see water gleaming
Because of the reflection
Off the sun.
It's so beautiful
I could drink it

When I leave my peaceful place
I get ready for the wolrd
I dry my tears from
Crying about my Grandad's
Dead
