To my grandad

I know that my mum misses you
As you were deeply loved;
But grandad your eyes always shined
As if someone was watching from above.

I've always loved you grandad
But I don't believe you've gone;
I know I shouldn't miss you
As your memory still lives on.

I remember your old war stories
And the games of make-believe;
I know your always by my side
And I know you'll never leave.

I know I've never been perfect
But I hope I made you proud;
Like the times you used to listen
When I used to read out loud.

You were a very special grandad
Who was loved in every way;
I know that someone thinks of you
At least once everyday.

And even though you've left this world
And no longer can be seen;
They'll always be a trace of you
Everywhere you've been.

So before I say goodbye grandad
There's something you should know;
The love i feel for you grandad
Will never ever go.
