Grandpa Hold My Hand

Written with tears flowing from my eyes.

Grandpa hold my hand

just like you used to do,

take me in your arms

Grandpa I love you.

Tell me once again

the stories of your life,

how you met my gram

your dearly beloved wife. 

Show me your great big smile

that always warmed my heart,

Grandpa hold my hand

this is the hardest part.

I know you cannot speak

but you spoke tears to my eye,

you told Grandma not to leave

you want her there, for when you die.

I'm coming to say my last goodbyes

and tell that I love you,

I'll take your hand into my palm

just like you used to do.

Reminds me a little of a song I wrote when my Grandpa had passed away. Sometimes grief aides us in writing in some strange, eerie way. Well done.

This is very beautiful. Grandparents are such a gift that you must hold onto dearly! I miss having grandparents! Always hold the memories close to your heart!

Awe this is beautiful and sad. It made me want to cry. I lost my Grandpa when I was like nine years old. I have my other one still alive and I saw him last week. I know how hard it is to get over someone's death. I have been through many years of sorrow after this. Thanks for sharing this piece.
