You were gone like an autumn leaf,
As I've been told by my belief.

The time was proper for me to come,
One last good-bye
And you were done!

Long ago your arms were swinging me to fall asleep;
Stories never forgotten now make me weep.

Good-bye my Grandpa,
Good-bye for now!
Go meet Granny,
Say from me ‘Ciao! '

Raluca Mitra
