Grandpa

This is a poem I wrote for the greatest man I know and love..... My Grandpa.....

Grandpa...
just for fun... :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are never ready to say goodbye to someone we hold dear,
If it were up to us...

Dear grandpa,
We had always keep you here,
But God has reasons of His own,
and plans we cannot know...

Our arms are empty,
Our hearts are filled with tears and grief,
For me who loved each day with you...

Now find these days too brief,
Yet if we could only have not seen,
We did know you are happy there,
and we would never call you back,
When such great joy you share...

So we will trust you to God's great care,
and know some day, once more,
We will hold you to our hearts again,
When we reach heaven's shore...

Grandpa,
There are so many images come to my mind whenever I speak your name,
It seems without you in my life,
Things have never been the same...

What happened to those lazy days,
When I was just a child,
When my life was consumed in you,
In your love, and in your smile...

Grandpa,
Some days I hear your voice,
and turn to see your face,
Yet in my turning,
It seems the sound has been erased in my mind...

Grandpa,
Who will I turn to for answers,
When life does not make any sense,
Who will be there to hold me close,
When the pieces just do not fit...

Grandpa,
If I could turn back time,
and once more hear your voice,
I did tell you that out of all the grandpas,
You would still be my choice...

Your Beloved Grandson,
Hamizan
