Granddad

You were the one I always turned to
I only ever sat on your knee
I helped you in the garden
You gave advice to me

I thought you'd always be there
To tickle my knee like you did
But something evil happened
I thought you'd be lying in a ditch

But instead you chose the furnace
The hot flames surrounded you
I want you back, don't leave me
Granddad I really miss you

What horrid thing stole you
From the life you loved to live
You were such a generous person
You didn't take unless you’d give

Remember that trip I went on
You paid the whole amount
How long is it since you've gone
How many days, I lost count

I miss you, please come back
I know grandma wants you too
And mom she has your picture
Now your house is like a zoo

Grandma will soon be with you
I know because she's ill
Everyday at a certain time
she has to take her pills

I know you will look after her
When your re-united
I know you didn’t want to leave
But you cant always fight it
