                        Grandfather

                 life for you  wasn't the best

                  you often had to go to rest

 I look upon the clouds to see who you used to be

 the  light from the sun is as bright as the light in your eyes

          I loved you then now and forever

Moon Rises the sun falls but you'll be with me through it all

  you used to sit on the couch  as quiet as a mouse

 when  we came to visit  The Love shown  was never underrated

 even when you couldn't move your Love still follows 

Your oxygen tanks were big and heavy but so was the love in your heart

 though now we are  drifted apart I still hold you in my heart

  to see the smile on your face was like winning a trophy 4 1st place

 you used to sneak us candy even when grandma did not approve

You made us laugh and smile even when I couldn’t for the longest time

You always did things you should not have done but to u that was fun

My game of life has just begun but yours had ended when mine had started

You would always tease me when u could make me Embarrassed as u should

I can only talk about my feelings around u but even then I still hide behind them

I never got to say goodbye as you took your last breath this feels to me like a test

You laid In a hospital bed weak and thin and this ending is where my life now begins

My heart is now broken my life meaningless my eyes never shedding a tear 

My grandfather asked if i could come over a weekend before but I ignored u knew this was coming but I did not.

My grandfather will never see me move on to high school and never see me grow up I just want to say one thing 

I love you and goodbye.

this as you can tell is about my grandfather, who has sadly passed away, this is talking about how he was his last moments and if i had one wish it would be to finally say that i love him without knowing i wasn't able to see him one last time and without regret of not spending enough time with him
