Dear Grandfather

August 1, 2016 

was a day i could never forget 

a day where my heart filled with regret...

 

i remembered that day like it was yesterday, 

i heard the air depart from your lungs & you wheezing trying to gain the oxygen that was left but it already had left you. 

 

that day i wish i could have left too. 

because you were my rock even though i never told you. 

you were my father when my real one was  gone too. 

 

dear grandfather, 

im sorry i never told you how much i loved you , im sorry i made it seem like it didnt love you , but grandpa i love you. 

 

i miss you most of all because when i needed a laugh i know you were the one to call 

 

but when you would call me i was never there for you , i made it seem like i didnt care for you. 

 

i wish i had just a little more time with you because i would have made the most if it, i would have enjoyed every piece of it. 

 

i know in your last days you weren't yourself, you had changed and turned into a man i never met 

but behind your beautiful eyes, my hero lied 

 

to his day i don't know how much tears i cried but i promise you i try to make piece with it but i cant piece together why he chose you over me to be gone with it. 

 

when times get hard i look up to the sky and ask god why? 

 

life ain't the same without you,  how am i living without you? 

 

i miss you 

 

i promise you ill make you proud, and when i read my poetry ill read it firm and loud. 

 

i never got to read a piece to you but i wrote this to come to piece with you .

This poem is about: 
My family
