Grandfather Death Poem

Poem About Preparing To Say Goodbye

My grandad was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months ago. He kept it a secret because he didn't want anyone to worry. I found out. I love my grandad to pieces; he's like a dad to me. He has aged so much in the past 6 months. I think he's really ill and I don't think he's got long left.

Goodbye, Grandad

Published: July 2010

the clock is ticking
and time is passing by
I love him very much
and this is my goodbye

he put on his brave face
told me there was nothing wrong
he thought I never knew
but I knew it all along

he was diagnosed with cancer
it made me really sad
I knew he was unwell
but didn't think it was this bad

he used to sort it out
when things got really bad
now I just want to say
"I love you, Grandad"
