Once

I had you once for a very short time,
and the memories we shared I stored in my mind.
I relish the memories that we once knew,
I only hope you remembered them too.

You gave me my wings and taught me to fly,
You didn’t hold me back you showed me the sky.
You gave me the world on a silver tray,
And taught me how to love and the games that people play.

You gave it all but you’ll never know,
Just how much you helped me grow

by Michelle Holden
Message from the author: This was inspired by the loss of my grandfather.
