Grandad Birthday

You was there from the very beginning
You was there from the very start,
I never knew of life without you
And I love you with everything in my heart.

But it seems that its a cruel world we live in
As now we are here struggling without you,
All putting on brave faces for each other
Feeling like that's what it is we need to do.

My mind, it struggles to understand life
How you wasn’t allowed here to stay,
It doesn't seem fair when I look around me
I'd be a enroute to heaven if I knew the way.

See, you was there from the very beginning
You was there from the very start,
And now that you've been taken from me
I carry on, but now with a hole in my heart.
