A kind spirit. A graduate.

Tribute to Grandfather.

Class of 2019.

Nostalgia comes and goes.

Today it settles deep in my soul,

Riddling my mind to no end.

My heart tells me,

Today is different.

I walk in the shadow,

A borderline man.

As a boy I looked to your light.

In stumble and precision,

With grace you were.

A true stand-up.

These shoes have been big,

Since before my time.

As my shadow descends,

I state at them in awe.

A Cinderella story bids my life.

I stand into them a young man,

Set on spending my lifetime filling your shoes,

And walking amongst your light.
