Holding On and Letting Go

Holding On And Letting Go

Sitting on my dresser

A single stuffed rabbit sits

Tons use to surround it as well

But they’re gone now

Alone this one sits

Because i couldn’t bare to let it go

The memories of my grandpa

Now fill my head

Everytime I see it

I remember the day I got it

My mom and dad said “No, you have enough.”

But my loving grandpa felt different

He took the stuffed rabbit in his hand

Without me realizing it, he went his own way

And we went ours

I was so upset that I couldn’t have it

Arriving at grandma and grandpas I wept

My grandpa approached me with an item in his hand

He bent down towards me and in his hand laid the stuffed rabbit

He may be gone but his memories flood my mind everytime I see it
