The Flicker

I now sit in the dark .

I waited a long time

To hear it come ,

But yet I never saw it coming .

The flicker is gone out 

Of Grandpa's eyes  .

I come to tears in my chair 

I will not rock my grandson 

Everyday any more .

In my chair I never push forward .

My grandson has come so far

So fast yet he has so far yet to go .

Today , I will take a nap alone .
