Master Sergeant Grandpa
You sit there longer now
speaking little:in rhymes
masking hurt
which seems to be, only I can see
feeling as though what was once
will never be.
Our debates
you are more than a conversationalist
keeping things interesting
always making one think.
Older, fragile man
inevitable.
I still love you for who you are
strokes and aneurysms
keeping personality locked away.
Only you can help yourself
move past this point
sooner, rather than
too late.
I can only hope.

They are hard men and hard men don't give up easy. They were my inspiration growing up.
