A poem about our family celebrating the life of my grandfather.
Goodbye Grandpa

Aroma of deep fryer oil and
Mexican food.

Heat of day
Fading.

Goosebumps over
Tanned arms.

Contagious laughter, no
Holding it in.

Goofy giggles
Bubbled,

Filling the air wth
Music.

Joyous chatter adding to the
Euphony.

Taste of salty
Tortilla chips

Rested on
Chapped lips.

Teased a 7-foot tall
Will, who was being
Decapitated in photographs.

Could almost hear
Grandpa laughing with us. His
Deep, lovely laugh.

He was, after all, the
Reason we were all there.
