Tears streamed down my face when I saw you that way.
I love you grandpa, I will love you everyday.
As my tears raced down my face;
I knew you'd soon be in a happier place.
My love will follow you wherever you go.
Oh how I loved you so.
Although I feel sorrow and hate.
You can't fight fate.
You told me everything as time passed by and by.
I never wanted you to die.
We did a lot together throughout the years.
It's time to wipe away the tears.
I want you to know;
I will never let you go.
I know you loved me too.
My heart will always be with you.
Now it's time to say goodbye.
Until I see you again someday when I die.
The last time I saw my grandfather was in the hospice, as we were saying goodbye he gripped my arm and the last thing he said to me was: The early bird catches the worm. It was silly, and somewhat surreal but it stuck in my head. Your poem reminded me and made me wish I'd spent more time with him.
