"Say Hi to Your Grandpa For Me"

I went to visit you today.
I called your name,
stomped my feet,
but you didn't get up to answer me.
You are a lot farther away
then 6 feet would seem to dictate.
So I sat cross legged on the grass
and stared at your new stone face
carefully engraved with your name
and that little bird.
Remember when you said forever?
I guess you had a different definition
of what that word meant.
I whispered it.
"forever..."
Your silence screamed back.
