I wrote this poem for my granddad who died on the 6th march 2009. He had been in hospital for over 8 weeks as he got pneumonia and then lost his swallowing reflex and could not eat. We did not expect him to pass away as he had had an operation to fit a peg in his stomach so he could be eat and was doing fine. But he died that Friday unexpectedly and by the time we got to the hospital he had passed away. I wrote this poem to be said at his funeral and I know he now watches over and takes care of us all.

Grandad
We know you can no longer stay with us,
you fought long and hard to be with us.
We know you now watch over and protect us,
Although we cannot hear your voice or see your smiling face,
We know deep down in our hearts that you have not left us.
Instead everyday you surround us with the singing of the birds,
the rising of the sun and the falling of night.
So many broken hearts are left behind,
But in our deepest despair our greatest comfort lies knowing
that you are now at peace with the angels and God.
So as times passes our tears will dry,
our hearts will mend
but our love for you will never end.
