My grandpa died a year ago from complications of lung cancer come Nov. 3.It was really hard to lose him,because i had saw him the day before he died and he looked so happy and painless......anyways I wrote a poem in memory of him to put in the newspaper,but it turns out,it costs 70 dollars to put a poem in the paper.....but heres the poem
Until the Day
I called your name late that night
hoping it wasn't true,
That somehow you were still alive
and the dark,your voice would break through
I always thought you'd stay awake
not close your eyes so soon,
But God has a plan for everyone
he must've needed you.
We miss you very dearly
we think of you each day,
Even after all is said and done
there's still so much left unsaid.
If there is anything I've learned
during this time it would be this,
For every maudlin teardrop
that swells and soaks the ground,
You are looking down from Heaven
saying, "Smile for me,don't frown,"
"For I'm in a better place now,
happy and free of pain,
But if you ever need reassurance,
You can just remember this,
I wait in Heaven until the day
I see you all again."
It may hurt us for a while
to know you're never coming back,
But we will eventually be reunited
and regain what we had lacked.
For there comes a time in all our lives
when we have sorrow or great pain,
But if we place our trust in God
we will somehow meet again.
