Teach Me To Love Again

by Tonya   Jun 26, 2008


Day by day,
I see your face,
And I wounder why you would leave me,
You told me you would never leave,
But that day came when you left me,
October 29, 1999
I got home and got the news that you had gone,
I began to cry,
And I wanted you even more,
They told me that I needed to deal with this better,
All I could say was "HOW!"
You were my grandpa!

Two days later,
They would take you away from me forever,
October 31, 1999
I had to let go of you forever,
I had to say my final "Good Bye"
I placed a picture by your hands,
Then I cried, grasping for air,
They made me leave your side,
For it was time for them to place you in the ground.

I had to leave you there by yourself,
Remembering the last thing that I said to you,
"I'll always love you- Forever"
And then said a tiny whisper in your ear that said,
"I hope that you never forget me!"

Grandpa now that you are gone,
Now that I don't have you anymore,
Who is going to ....
Teach me to love again?
