Saint Patrick's Day


I wear black for St. Paddy's day
for it marks the passing of
my Grand Daddy

I never got to say hello
let alone goodbye
as he left us some three years
and a few months
before I was born

a small granite stone on Staten Island
marks his final spot

I miss my father now so much more than ever,
as he missed his father,
now they are together
