My Pap

he died today and things will never be the same

my pap died today
i love you pappy
i will miss you
every single day

your laughs your jokes
like "What's Up?
you being gone
truely sucks

you are the best there is, the best there was, the best there every will be

i will write music
for you
because every time i played
it brought joy to you

why did you
have to go
was it his time?
i guess so

God i know he's
in a better place
now he can meet his maker
face to face

i still
want him here
so i can love on him
and hold him dear

you will always hold a special place in my heart

Aw, I'm sorry, sweetie. It hurts when someone leaves us, but we have to remember that when they do, its to a better and sweeter place. Your Pap wouldn't want you to be sad. Remember your good times but don't forget the bad, and always keep him in your heart.
Wonderful poem :)

I am sorry for your loss :( Your father lived a really nice, long life and from what you've written I can see that he was a treasured person. If he was here, he'd be touched at your words, they are so sweet. A great way to express how you feel, that too when your feelings are still so raw.
A big HUG!
keep writing!
Not your typical girl
(never forget, but remember to smile too) :)

Really sorry. Mourn death celebrate his life. You cover that here. Keep making him proud.

I'm really sorry! This happened to me 2 years ago... My babci died (dad's mother). The entire family was torn apart, torn to pieces. I know where you're coming from, what's going on, and I'm truly sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family!
Your pap is truly in a good place, I just know it :)
Good write, I felt emotions I havent felt since my babci died.

It sounds like you really loved him, and I'm sorry you're feeling this way but at least he'll be watching over you. Great work, and I'm sorry.

Hi VolleyballGirl, i want to say i am sorry. You are right in nothing being the same.
In time the pain fades a bit. I know these words do no good, but i am sorry also happy you had such a loving Pap and close relationship.
You say he lived a good life happy he did.
Having you in his life was a joy i am sure.
Take care .. love never dies.

The world has lost a great man. The love you share with us all is
evidence that he lived a dream. May you find peace in his memories.

I can tell this is from the heart and this is beautifully written. Like everyone else, I'm sorry.
