Young Ben

At the loss of his granddad five year old Ben is in tears Trying to come to terms with human mortality in his tender years The grief at the loss of a dear friend it has hit him bad He is learning at a young age that life sometimes can be sad Can i talk to granddad by phone to his mum he does say In his new home in heaven from here far away She tells him the phone line to heaven is too busy today And do not worry about granddad he is happy where he is and feeling okay To feel the grief of loss in his human existence he has come to this stage He does realize that life is not always happy at a very young age Yet too young to understand that granddad in the flesh he will never more meet To play cricket with him in the park off of high street The grief he feels at present in time will subside And he will come to terms with that the body of granddad has died And that tears to the eyes come from the well of the heart And that sadness and joy of life are a part The loss of his deceased grandfather young Ben does grieve But what his mum tells him he does believe That he will meet granddad in heaven one day And in a sunlit park cricket they will play.
