Grandpa -My hero

when I feel like a zero,
I think back and remember my hero,
I remember all the motivational stuff he told me,
as he encouraged me to be who I wanted to be,

He was my emotional pillow to cry on,
my shadow when everyone was gone,
he was my crutch when life got heavy,
and my stability when I was trying to get steady,

in a world full of haters he was my cheerleader,
he knew me so well like a mind reader,
he loved me despite my lack of confidence in myself,
he loved me with all his health,

and at night when im alone,
and I feel as cold as stone,
I look up and remember my hero,
and I go to bed not feeling like a zero.
