Poem – I Wonder – 24 Dec 2020

2020 has been quiet the year

So many confused, living in fear

Loved ones locked down

No visits, no playgrounds

No parties, or gatherings, at what cost

No celebrations, memories lost

This year has been a complete waste

The stolen time, truth displaced

We lost our Pops and Grannypa

Grieving hearts, emotions raw

With treasured hope we do our best

We’ll see you soon when we’re at rest

Pops left us in early spring

The Moms worked hard with comforting

We couldn’t sit with him

Cheated by human whim

He wasn’t alone though this I know

By his side, your love You showed

Grannypa joined Pops late summer

With loved ones we tried to comfort

Holding hands and reassuring

Your love forever is enduring

Jesus loves me this I know

For the Bible tells me so

All these things they make me wonder

Why our lives have been torn asunder

Why must our hearts ache like this

Our Brian, our Dads, loved ones we miss

Together again is surely our fate

Will you be waiting at heavens gate

Brian, did you meet your grandpas at the gate

Did you show them the rewards of faith

Have you taken Pops fishing

Or have the two of you been merrily dishing

Have you taught Grannypa how to shoot pool

Or has he taken you to school

On this day six years ago

We had to let you go

Anticipation of you meeting us at the gate

Gives us hope, allows us to wait

We love you so much our Bri-guy

Thank you for each and every beautiful blue sky
