In the dark of night, when sorrow grips my soul
And desperation fills my every breath
I long for a touch of warmth, a glimpse of hope
A sign that I am not alone in this
Then I see him, my grandfather, in my dreams
He does not speak, he does not judge, he does not scold
He only smiles, a gentle smile, a loving smile
The same smile he gave me when I was a child
He took me by the hand, and showed me the world
He fed me with his kindness, and filled me with joy
He was my guide, my friend, my hero
But I did not appreciate him enough
Now he is gone, but he still visits me
He smiles at me, a smile that heals my heart
But there is something more, something deeper, something hidden
Behind his smile, a message, a secret, a gift
I do not know what it is, I do not understand
But I feel it, I sense it, I cherish it
I hope one day, I will discover it
And thank him, for his smile, for his love, for his legacy
