And Back

Over the years

The giant that had lifted her
Oh so very high
Became a rather small man
After all

He who knew so many things
And taught her the joy of them
Came to be known as someone who struggled
Illiterate through the world

One who had gifted her
Sweetness
Kindness
Caring and
Love unceasing
Could be by turn
An angry and
Violent
Drunk

Yet despite
The realizations
Reconciliations
Recriminations

He remained

Granddaddy
