If you never get this letter

Another tribute to my grandfather

Why does life keep going on

When all you cared about is gone

It seems so wrong

I know that I have to be strong

And keep living in this world

Of fear and regret

Please try to understand

I will never forget who you were

Life keeps going

And your light is going out

By your spirit will always live in us

I will remember you

Just like all of those who cared so much for you

Just try to remember

Even if you never

Ever

Get to read this letter

Grandfather I still love you

I try to be strong, no tears on my face

Still the memories will never ease the pain

They think I don’t care

If you were here or not

They think I’m too young

But I know that you’re gone from this world

To heaven the place you believed in

Why does it in so suddenly

For those that you know as family

We will remember thee

Life keeps going

And your light is going out

By your spirit will always live in us

I will remember you

Just like all of those who cared so much for you

Just try to remember

Even if you never

Ever

Grandfather I still love you

Our world is slowly changing

Peoples actions getting more evil manipulative

And I know that you were a holy man

Even if not a priests or always had a bible at hand

You cared for others and they cared for you

And you cared so much to die so cruelly

To die so suddenly…

Still that doesn’t change how I feel.

Life is getting harder

And you’re already gone

Your life is not over

Though I know that you are gone.

Just look down from heaven

Or were ever you

See that you have someone looking up at you

Like a god you are.

I will remember you

Just like all of those who cared so much for you

Just try to remember

Even if you never

Ever

Grandfather I still love you

Author's Note

I cannot even describe. He was loved by so many and maybe not as famous as Michal Jackson or all those other celebrities, but I have to say he had lives a holy-er life, even if I am not exactly holly myself.

Nicely done and even more nicely written I like this a lot it's beautiful and made me choke up a bit. I guess if the letters sent and you never recieve it what a shame that is and imagine the sadness upon ones face. Nicely done always nice to read something of yours ^_^

Hi Ashley. This is a nice tribute. Change the By in this to a but and it will be good to go. Remember too that each time you pass on something he taught you that you are passing on his memories.

By your spirit will always live in us

This is a beautiful tribute. Your grandfather sounds like a great man. Even if he never, ever gets to read this letter, I'm sure he already knew you love him. Wonderfully done, sweet and sincere. I love it.
