To My Grandparents Poem by Miguel Rodriguez

Our time together was short.
Too short for me to realize your worth.
I was ungrateful for having you.
I didn't want you in my life;
I know it's sad, but it's true.
Now that your gone,
I wish I was a better grandson.
I wish I would've went to church when you wanted me to.
I wish I would've sat out on the porch and just talked to you.
I wish you were around to see my wedding.
I wish I could remember everything instead of forgetting.
I wish you could see your great-grandchildren play.
I wish we could come visit you today.
Even though I know you will never read this poem,
I hope others will and maybe I can show 'em
How much I took you for granted.
