This is a poem I wrote while attempting to deal with my Grandpa's sudden diagnosis of cancer, and the mishaps we have had over the years. He passed away after only a few short months battling the disease, but this poem helped me to make the best of the time we had. So this goes out to Grandpa Gabe, who will always be remembered and loved in my heart, and in others. <br /> <br />We never were very close <br />I resented you for what you did <br />I could not forgive you <br />Instead I ran and hid <br /> <br />You tried to get close <br />I pushed you away <br />You made me mad <br />I had nothing to say <br /> <br />Then something happened <br />To open my eyes <br />Bells started to ring <br />And I realized <br /> <br />Life is too short <br />Grudges mustn’t be held <br />That’s when I decided <br />I must tell you how I felt <br /> <br />I didn’t know how to show <br />The love I felt for you <br />What to say, where to start <br />I really had no clue <br /> <br />And now our time is ending <br />Before it’s even began <br />I know now, when it’s too late <br />That you are a really great man <br /> <br />Now as I watch you slowly fade <br />And wipe tears from my eyes <br />A big part of me <br />Also dies <br /> <br />I’m scared for you <br />I’m scared for me <br />But we all know <br />You must be set free <br /> <br />So from now <br />Until we meet again <br />My love for you <br />I always will send<br /><br />Thea Meggeson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-our-time-comes-to-an-end/
