7 YEARS

7 YEARS

In just a few hours it will be 7 years,

Despite the time we still have our moments of tears,

Each one of us deals with your loss in our own way,

I can only verbalize how I feel today.

My heart is sad,

My mind is mad,

That not just my Grandpa was taken from me,

But my friend you will forever be.

Many of nights I dream of you,

Only to wake and find that they are not true.

I suppose you’d tell me not to dwell on what we cannot change,

Instead of forever grieving take my priorities and rearrange,

Focus on the here and now,

You’re in a better place I must believe somehow,

Cherish all the memories of us,

And know that you’re watching over me I can trust.

There are times I feel your presence,

And it makes me smile without any hesitance,

Everything about you brought a smile to my face,

And everywhere I look there are memories of you around this place.

Grandpa, I just wanted to let you know that I will always hold you near,

And that all the moments we shared will forever be dear.

So please forgive us all if today we feel a little more pain,

Remind us that one day we all will be united again.

I love and miss you Grandpa Skaggs…
