About the Poem

I wrote this poem while grieving over my grandfathers death. I didn't know how to cope because I have never had anything like this happen to me before. I found that by expressing my words in writing that it had a magical affect on my life.

I Miss You

I miss you, PawPaw, very much,
You gave my life a special touch;
You did get angry and you did get mad,
But when you were gone I was nothing but sad;
Now that you've left I feel there's nothing more,
A piece of my heart, I felt was torn;
I went to see you I really did try,
But I knew it would be our last good-bye;
I saw your Angel she opened my eyes,
Even since then, I'm not afraid to cry;
I carry your Angel here by my side,
It is in her, that I can confide;
I know one day we'll be together,
I will long for that day forever and ever.

That poem was so sweet! My Poppy passed away a few years ago and this poem is helping me cope with his death better. My friend told me (when I got mad at her) that I should move on. Not let go but move on. I think I should do that too. I just don't know if I can do that. But I will try.
