Goodbye Gramps |

Today something happened that I thought never would. I wish it could be undone, oh, if it only could. I realize the memories I've made will be all there is. My grandfather's memories, mine and his. See, my grandfather passed away today and will never be back. And now it's moments with him that I will sadly lack. He won't be here to see me get my license or my car. See me go to prom or graduate, because he is so far. But I guess he's in a better place. He resides in Heaven, and is surrounded by God's grace. Now he can watch over me throughout the night and day. And I can pretend that he's not really away. He can stay with me in a place inside my heart. And of me, he can still be a part. |

This poem is how I felt about my grandpa. he died in August 2005. He was the one who was there for me. I wish I could of spent more time with him. He will guide me through life as it comes my way. He is my guardian, protector, and friend. He is missed on this earth but life goes on. I enjoyed reading this poem.

i relly liked your poem, i know how it feels to lose someone that you really love and care about, cause when my aunt had died it was hard for me to even try in go on with my life, even though i already knew that she was in a better place, but it just hard and i really do understand
