Great Grandpa

Happy memories of you and me
sitting in the kitchen
all by ourselves
so many years ago
I remember you and I
would read the dictionary
that was so long ago
these days
I see you lying in bed
getting sicker as time moves forward
the sound of all your machines
echoing in the silent room
I sit by your bedside
we talk, but it isn't the same
you say you don't want to eat or drink anymore
that you think you are ready to go
I'm gonna miss you, we all will
but when you go
I want you to know
we'll be okay
we will take care of each other
life will go on
you won't be forgotten
I'll be with you until the end
I love you
