Heir to the Halo

He may not flaunt a golden halo

hovering above his head,

and will proudly model the remnants

of a battered old hat instead.

Still, you cannot honestly deny the existence

of his cleverly hidden wings,

when he showers you with gifts

far finer than material things.

When he lifts you upon his knee of memories

and passes down lessons learned in his life,

he navigates you onto smoother paths

to prevent you from stumbling against the same strife.

Heaven surely sacrificed one of its' finest angels

for you, the gentleman's beloved heir.

So be sure he harbors no doubts

of how much for him you sincerely care.

If you are careful to pay close attention

the next time go you fishing with your dear grandfather,

you may be fortunate enough to spot the reflection

of his wings in the water.
