I wish i could see your beautiful smile.
Grandma, just to see you i would run for miles.
I wish i could hear your joyful laugh.
But you are so far away i can't run down that path.
I wish i could have just one more hug.
My heart is in pain but i hide it under a rug.
My rug is this smile i plant upon my face.
It hides my grief from this place.
I wish i could hear your voice one more time.
To me that would be worth heavens climb.
It would be worth more than anything man can give.
Because it would mean you would have one more day to live.
I wish i could talk to you.
So i could tell you all the things i never got to.
I wish i could have just one more day with you.
To say how much i love you.
But the good lord didn't give me any of these things.
Now i wonder is this all life brings.
A world full of endless hurt.
Where we try to hide all of the pain beneath a shirt.
Where not one can see our grief.
And no one will question our belief.
We hide the pain but it is a great relief.
When we unlock this barrier and let out emotions steal us away like a thief.
Grandma, i love you so much more than you ever knew.
Maybe not because i know you love me this much too.
I am not saying goodbye.
And i will try not to cry.
I will see you soon.
And as i gaze up at the stars and the moon.
I keep dreaming about when i get to come home to you.
I will meet you at the gates of heaven one day.
But for now all i have to say..
Is Grandma I Love You
And I'll see you in heaven one day soon.

Wow this poem was so sweet. I know what your going through, my father passed away when i was 12 it was like i was dying myself and even now i find it hard to express the feelings you have shown so beautifully in your poem. I have tried but failed, it is great to see the meaning and sadness behind your word. Beautiful, sad, brilliant. Love Tam xo
