I didn’t spend much time with you <br />And now it is too late <br />But if I had the time again <br />I’d get to know you more, and be you’re mate <br /> <br />You were getting older <br />You’re body growing weak <br />But I didn’t care <br />I just turned the other cheek <br /> <br />Everyone says <br />That I must try and understand <br />That an angel called your name <br />And took you by the hand <br /> <br />Because of my blindness <br />I didn’t get to say goodbye <br />I wasn’t there when you needed me <br />I wasn’t there when you died <br /> <br />Now I have one last wish for you <br />Before I say my goodbye <br />I wish you find the peace you need <br />And that you can now soar high <br /> <br />The day you left me on earth alone <br />I was at a party that was mad! <br />I was having fun while you were in pain <br />I’m sorry my dear Granddad.<br /><br />Tamara Moir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-dear-granddad/
