It's been so long since iv seen you,
You have always been there for me,
Just for a shoulder to cry on,
I can still picture your smile , your laugh and your song
You were here when I left you ,
And now your gone.
When I'm alone to sit and think of you , I imagine I have come to see you
I walk through the door
Sit on the floor beside your chair and tell you of my journey, I know you dear to hear.
I stand and tower over you to give you a hug and a kiss
The sweet tobacco I truly miss.
How I wish I could see you one last time
The simplest things of what your like.
To see you walk then stop to take a breath,
The way you stand in the door way with your arm up high to rest
And watch you stick your few bottom teeth out and scrap your top lip while you reach for your hanky .
To see your eyes light up to the love and warmth your dog brings
The small wonders of life so many people miss.
You gave so much to us kids
The love maybe you missed given to your own kids, coz the joy of being a grandparent is to try made amends later in life when you have the time to give
And your love kept us strong
I feel so lost without you
I never tried hard enough to get home
I so regret
I'm only to blame for not seeing you through to the end.
I love you and wish I could be with you
Or at least to hold you when you took your last breathe.
