Poem

TO GRANDPA

You are my grandpa and forever you will be, I miss you so much, I know this you can see.
I'm so confused now things are so strange. But I want you to know that you're not to blame.
Sometimes I feel like this is a dream, but I guess this can happen to anyone, including me.
I talked to grandma the other day, she seems like she's doing fine, trying to deal with this problem is going to take her some time.
Times are hard now but things will get better, it's kind of like the seasons, and the changing of the weather.
Now that you're gone I know you're doing good, doing everything you've ever wanted, just like I knew you could.
Till the day I see you again, grandpa, may your heart be at ease. I love you so much, and may you please rest in peace.

KaylaMy grandpa died almost 5 years ago. But I still feel the pain. It sucks to know you will never see them again and never be able to tell them stories about how you are doing. I miss him terribly. HE was my best friend and I will always miss my papa. I love you so much. (R.I.P. papa Kieth) Bettendorf, Iowa11/20/2009 10:42:30 PM

Ashlie Hollis Author Of To GrandpaHello Everyone..My name is Ashlie Hollis and I am the author of this poem "To Grandpa" I really love that fact that my writing has inspired so many, and it puts a smile on my face when I see all the comments that come in for this poem. I know it's hard loosing someone that is so close to you and someone that you love very much..I wrote this for my Grandpa Darwin M. Myers who was an amazing person!! My Grandpa died January 8th 2004..The thing that makes it harder about my story is that my Grandpa took this own life..He shot himself..It was really hard to deal with and still is, but I know that he is in a better place now and that God took him because he did so much good in this world he would give the shirt off his back for anyone and he made so man people happy!! I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to read my poem and leave me such beautiful comments about it..You may be going through a hard time right now but it will get better I promise and I am here to show you that..God Bless You All!!Grand Rapids Michigan U.S.A10/17/2008 1:22:40 PM
