Poem 2 of 4

August 3 my sisters father in-law passed away. This was really hard on his great granddaughters. This was the first member in their family to die in their young lives. My 16 year old great neice wrote 4 poems to her greatgrand father that I'm going to post because I think there very special.

“Hello new world”

By: Kaitlynn Traynor

In my
Last poem
I said
Goodbye
But I
Can’t say that
With out wanting
To cry
So now I
Want to say
Hello to the new you
Cuz to me
You didn’t die
Your spirit
Just grew
To an extent
Where the body
Was not used
The space
Was used
Just in greed
So now
You fly
In my hart
cuz if it
ever stopped
you’d make
it start
now I
understand
the pain
of saying
goodbye
I want to show
Y we should
Be saying hi
Cuz your body
may be dead
but not
the mind
that left
your head
so in my
last few lines
I want to say hello
I understand
You didn’t leave me
Cuz if you did
My love for you
wouldn’t flow
