About the Poem

When my grandfather died, I had a very difficult time dealing with it. Luckily I had my friends to turn to; this is a poem written by one of my friends for my grandfather.

My grandfather ~ was always so quiet; he never yelled at any of his grand children or scolded us. When he moved next to us I never paid any attention to him, and I now regret that so much! So, my advice to everyone is: never take any one of your relatives or friends for granted, because when they aren't there anymore you will wish so much that you had paid just a little more attention to them. Believe me, I know.

Tata (Grandfather)

Clouds are forming in the sky;
I feel like I could lie down and cry.
I miss all the things we used to do,
But knowing that I can't
Makes me realize
How much I loved you.
Family reunions won't be the same;
I miss you so much.
Only time could stop this pain.
I hope you had a wonderful life,
In spite of all those useless fights;
And when it rains I'll think only of you.
There would just be one thing I would do;
I'll get a picture of you and sit on my bed,
And my thoughts would only be of you -
Because in my opinion you are not dead.
All the family misses you,
And I do too.
I can't wait for that one day
When I would be reunited with
You.

Oh my gosh. When I read this poem I just broke down in tears. It is so true. I had lost my grandfather a couple of years ago. But still I miss him to to to much. I feel that he is still here.

I know how you feel. My poppy passed away a few years ago and I just started to get used to the fact that he's not going to be there every Christmas and Thanksgiving anymore. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. He was my best friend. I took it the hardest out of my family. Even though he's not here physically, he's always in your heart. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine. The pain will never leave but it will get easier. Trust me. God bless you and your family.

I loved you poem I cried. I just lost my grandfather a few months ago and he was my world. It reminded me Of somthing I would write and It was awsome. I have my grandfathers picture with me at all times and I have his shirt at the end of my bed, So if I need to be reminded that he will always be with me I grab it and hold it close to me. Well Good Job

my grandfather died yesterday, he lived very far from me and i took him for granted and just assumed he would always be there. i never took the time to call and see how he was and to tell him i love him. now that i got the news i blame myself for not doing that and i miss him very much. your poem meant so much because it described every emotion i was going through. awesome poem.

Your poem was lovely and very touching. Its quite obvious that you loved/love your Grandfather very much. I just lost my GrandFather less than a week ago and I am still in a huge fog over the whole thing. I will trust in the Lord to help me get through the difficult days that lay ahead of me. Bless you and your family. Kristi
