Footsteps in the night,
creaks and moans of the hallways.
It all reminds me of him.

Footsteps in the night,
is what I hear now,
not his voice wishing me to sleep tight.

He told me he loved me,
on Monday night,
I wish I can tell him now,
how much I love him,
but I’ve got to wait,
till my footsteps echo no more.

This poem was inspired by my granddaddy who passed away on Oct. 28, 2008.
