Grandpa

The days are going dark
the minutes are becoming thin
and i know we are counting down to the very end.

i don't want to lose you
so afraid to let go
you mean the world to me
that you already know

its hard to be around you
very hard to understand
you promised you'd be here
here to see me have my kids

but i see your fading
fading with every breath

i have seen you at your worst
so i suppose i can sit here and say its OK to let go

i understand
yes ill cry
yes ill hurt

but its OK. go ahead and let yourself go!

i love you more than you'll ever know! <3
