Krista Bryla
Who was my Grandpa?
I may never know.
I always felt sorry for him,
Because he looked so helpless as he lay in bed at a nursing home,
But yet he was still alive.
I could see it in his eyes.
I think he was conscious in his surroundings,
But just did not know how to act on it.
I have heard many stories about him,
But I can never say I really knew him.
When I went to visit him he was usually rude and disrespectful.
I know that was not who he really was.
It was the disease taking over him.
I like to think he is looking over me today
And the grace of God is taking care of him,
But will I ever know who he really was
Or was he just another person passing on?
No I think someday when the time is right I will get the chance to know him,
But until then I can only pray that he is watching over me.
