Grandpa’s Love
written by: Mark Kuglin
Something to take forward
As you sail ahead
Some unexpected ports
Never should you dread
When at your lowest ebb
Tis’nt solid fate
At dock in many forms
Kindred souls await
Let them be your guideposts
They’ll recharge your light
And listen, hold your hand
On your darkest night
Tis fair to warn you though
Kindred comes with cost
Don’t forget your kindness
When you’re feeling lost
Every contrary act
Ripples and alters course
If darkness comes your way
Employ a counterforce
Stay true and hold your ground
With purpose, do not sway
To those without honor
Simply walk away
True family will come running
And respect what you’ve done
They’ll treat you like a gift
A very precious one
