Granddaddy, my best friend

Someone special has this day departed

But I can see his smile

Free from pain

Free from anguish

He made me smile when I was sad

He gave me a mouse and played with me 

To be his granddaughter oh I am glad

He always found a way to make me happy

My granddaddy was simple

He was always looking out for a huge dimple

He made sure I was snuck tight 

Every single night

He has hence departed from this world

I imagine him patting my back and saying

"Jamie you are my biggest pearl"

He would always do that every single day until I stopped crying

Oh how I miss him so much

Oh how I miss being with him

Holding my granddaddy's hand

The best feeling in the world

I was his baby girl

He was my big daddy

We were more than just family

We were the best of friends

I miss you granddaddy

I miss you my favorite playmate

I'll see you someday

Somewhere high up where I also hope to be

It's for my bestfriend. :)

It's hard to really forget him and let go but if your memory of him is still alive, I'm sure.. I'm very very sure that he is happy where he is. He's a good man, I know. The pain you went through, it will disappear but will again appear when you remember.. I'm not sure but I feel how you feel and I don't know why... The flow of the poem is simple.

Just one advice: Never let your memory of him go. It's one of your greatest treasures. Believe me.
