ELEGY Poem: Swan Song, by Brenna Farrell

For my grandfather

I miss you
You taught me everything
You were so wise

Sometimes I wonder
What you were like before I knew you
Were you as kind?

I know you learned
Learned from those hardships in your life
Grew your mind

Still, what you were like
When I last saw you
So filled with life

You were a legend
More than a hero in my eyes
Your heart still shines

Some suppose
Swans sing sweet songs
Before they die
