Falsely accused he was
Banished from his children
Punished unfairly then
Still he believed
Setting the record straight
Would take some lonely years
And many bitter tears
He hung in there
Children become adults
They chose to seek him out
They never had a doubt
He was waiting
Hearts sought to be fulfilled
Slow, cautious steps taken
Love sleeping was wakened
He’s now Grandpa
