Grandpa, <br />I still think you're here, <br />That you're not dead yet. <br />I just can't believe it, <br />I still think you're here. <br /> <br />It feels like just yesterday, <br />We were working outside, <br />Or watching TV together. <br />It still feels like yesterday. <br /> <br />This is the unreality of reality, <br />You dying, I just can't beleive it, <br />You were just here; I was just talking to you, <br />This is the unreal of the real. <br /> <br />At your wake Grandpa, <br />I didn't say goodbye, <br />I just can't beleive you're dead, <br />At least not yet Grandpa. <br /> <br />I can't let you go, <br />But I'm loosing my grasp on you Grandpa, <br />I think it's time to say goodbye. <br />I think it's time for me to realize you're gone. <br /> <br />I want to give you one last hug, <br />Just one more kiss on the cheek, <br />But I can't Grandpa. <br />I just want to let you know I love you, <br />One last time. <br /> <br />At youre funeral Grandpa, <br />I didn't believe you were in the coffin, <br />But when you started to be lowered into the ground, <br />I saw people crying. <br /> <br />But I stood firm for you Grandpa, <br />I kept my lips straight, <br />My Face so serious, <br />Because I knew you wouldn't want me to cry. <br /> <br />There's so much I still want to say to you, <br />There's so much you still have to see, <br />But you won't be able to, and you can't, I guess this is it Grandpa. <br />I love you and I miss you, Goodbye.<br /><br />Lauren Meredith Gould<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-grandpa/
