Grandpa

A poem I wrote for my grandfather when I was 14

When you went away

I cried and cried all day

I was so young and so naive

I never thought it could happen to me

 

To see you lying there

So cold, I was unaware

My protector, my old friend

I never dreamed your life would end

 

I'm not the first to lose someone

But grandpa, you were so much fun

You told me that my dreams would come true

But now my dream is to be with you

 

I miss you so much, it's just not fair

See, you and I were such a pair

I wish you could see what I've grown to be

I wonder, would you be proud of me?

I remember you telling me this story at work. Its sad, but life is a great harvest. To respect and love your grandpa is all you need, your thoughts will reach him where ever he decided to go.
