Memory

When I was 7 I found my grandfather dead in his bed... something I've never overcome...

I shouldn't have gone for that walk

You left me all alone

I know I could have saved you

But you left too early

I should have stayed home

For I know you would be here still

I'm sorry Grandpa

I let you down

I should have stayed home

You would still be my best friend

All those times we spent together

I wish we still had

But I understand it now Grandpa

She waited for you to go up to her

I love you Grandpa

I'm sorry I let you down

But maybe I didn't

Maybe you're happy wiere you are now

Am I making you proud Grandpa?

I know I've done bad things

But Grandpa don't forget

I'm as good as I can be

I try to be a good daughter

For daddy has lots of stress

I know he misses you too Grandpa

He cries when I talk about you

But Granddpa can't you see me know?

I cry too

I love you Grandpa

Have fun wherever you are

I miss you Grandpa

I'll be good

And one day we will be together again

Don't forget me Grandpa

Because I haven't forgotten you

I found you Grandpa

Daddy called 911

We tried to help you

But I know you could still be here

If I would have just stayed home

Such a tragic thing to happen to someone at that age. Then for you to feel the guilt all those years. Your poem brings out all those emotions. WHen reading it you can feel your pain and suffering. IT seems that you have come to terms with what happened. Your poem was very well wrote.
