I know he wasn't always there
Sometimes lost in space
Sometimes he couldn't say
the words and pain that lay
Beneath the wrinkled skin.
He kept it all bottled inside
Never telling a soul.
But lately at the VA
He told the horrible truth.
He was getting sicker everyday
I knew he'd be gone soon.
Well, I was right.
I wasn't even home
Or around him when he went.
Some say I'll never see him again,
But I will.
When I come up with you, Grandpa,
we'll catch up on the old times and the new.
I had to share my feelings, someway somehow, now I have. I know my Grandpa knows
now and will be waiting for my time, when my time comes. I miss him though, but
he'll be watching over me forever.
