I Love You Grandpa

I was young when you had a heartattack
I was seven, I didn't know how to act
So I got down on my knees and said a prayer
God please don't take him there
I remember sitting in the hospital chair
Returning the gaze of fear, it wasn't fair
I was scared, yet you managed to stay strong
Showing God that with us is where you belong
We grew a little more together
I thought you'd be with me forever
Then you started to get sick again
I was still so young, but my fear wouldn't pretend
There you were with stage four cancer and slipping
I was scared, my mind constantly running
"Maybe he'll live another year." the doctor said
I couldn't picture my Papa, lying there dead
But you stayed strong when I was weak
A scared girl, young and meek
You said you stayed her just for us
I realize now, your word is something I'll forever trust

| almost makes me cry ..... lovely poem. i wish people could stay with us forever. I'm glad you treasure your grandfather now. Some people don't realise how important these things are until it's too late. |

Reminded me of my own grandpa this.
Sadly he is no longer here but I still think about him and what it would be like if he was here, he was one of my greatest friends.
Thx for sharing this
