Gramp's Rest In Peace

 

 

Tears today have formed
For the loss I never mourned
For 30 years the pain would last
A shadow on life it would cast
The one I loved so much
As a child the only one I'd trust
Feeling I was left behind
When that love I couldn't find
Nothing that I had to fear
As long as you were near
Once a very happy kid
I still remember all that we did
Just can't understand how
It all finally hit me now
To no one can I speak
As the tears run down my cheek
Like a baby I now cry
As I finally say good bye
In life I had no idea what to do
I was alone with out you
With life I couldn't deal
Needed the love you made me feel
I couldn't grieve they would insist
Yet your the one I've always missed
Told that big boys don't cry
Today to stop I won't even try
Your face today I see
It's like your right in front of me
Why now would this all start
Will my life once again fall a part
Or will you simply guide me through
And tell me what I should do
All those demons I now fight
You'd be proud I finally see the light
I am now praying down on my knees
Hoping that you'll now rest in Peace!
