Grandpa

Its been a few months
and over time this scar will heal
but right now its wide open
and i don't know how to deal

you were torn from my life
so soon in my years
but i love you with all my heart
and through all the tears

I'm sorry you wont be there
to see all of us grow
but believe me ill think of you
during the high and the low

I'm sorry i wasn't there
I'm sorry i didn't get to say goodbye
but i prayed for you did
everyday before you died

there are so many memories
so many simple reminders everyday
i love you i hope you know it
because if you do everything will be OK

you are dearly missed
and you are loved by all
but when i saw you lying there
to me you looked so small

it was two long years
i didn't get to see you
the doctor said you wouldn't make it
but i didn't know if it was true

this wasn't supposed to happen
you were supposed to be there
i needed you
i needed you to know that i care

you were going to be at my graduation
and for the birth of my first child
you were going to be the best great-grandpa
and you were going to make them all smile

but now your gone
and you aren't here anymore
i don't want to be sad
i don't want to have to close your door

why did you have to leave
why did god take you away
we needed you here
didn't he know we needed you to stay

RIP Grandpa
forever in our hearts
forever remembered
<3
