WITHOUT YOU

When I woke to find you gone.

When the sun rose to the sky without you.

I felt my heart fall apart in tatters.

I looked to the sky and asked God why.

How can I continue my life without you.

I cried until no more tears wet my face.

I watched the sun leave my eyes and meet my eyes again

As I tried to grasp I would never see you laugh

See you smile proudly and joke.

Gosh your jokes were something else.

When I look at photos or hear a song my eyes well up for you.

You told me don't cry for you but it's hard not too.

I know you'll never know worldly pain again,

and that I'll see you again someday

But I can't help but feel lost.

When I get to where you are, I'll find you first.

I'll hold you tight and I'll never let go.

For when you left us, you left a hole, a void.

Your memory fades and slips day by day.

I grip and grasp at any last piece of you.

I'll do it until I see you again.

Until then Thank you for the time I had with you.

In Loving Memory of my grandfather.
