Grandfather Death Poem

I know it hurt you
It hurt me too,
But now that you're gone
All I know is I miss you

You were there for so long,
I never thought you would leave.
I though you had another year
Waiting up your sleeve.

The day that you left
Was the saddest of my life.
I remember sitting at home
And crying all day and night.

I might be selfish
But I wish you were here.
Or if you stayed
For one more year.

I know you loved me
And I still love you too.
So I'm trying to be strong
Just for you.

I know I'm not perfect.
I know I'll never be.
I just hope you're up there
And that you're proud of me.

You had to let go
Even though you were holding on for so long
But there's not a day I don't think of you,
And how you were so strong.

I just want to tell you
That you're always in my heart.
Even though I still cry
I know we're not apart.

Thinking of you, Grandpa... ɛ
