I decided that this poem is going to be turned in for my project :]

I won’t ever forget

The face of this creature

Winkled, old, showing his life

But, look into his eyes

forget about his looks,

something so beautiful,

no words could explain.

You can see the pain,

you can see the joy,

you can see everything.

Look at his smile,

glued to his face.

The corners always make their way toward heaven,

never the ground.

Now I try to find him,

but I can’t go behind the tears.

I try to see him in my mind,

but it’s to overwhelming to try.

Stop thinking the badness,

remember his life!

How he made you laugh.

How was he always happy?

That’s the magic that he held.

Calling his name when I got stuck in the tree.

He always joked,

making me cry, from laughing so hard.

Every time I saw him,

I never felt guilt,

of having someone so special in my life.

I get scared,

that my mind will drift from him.

I try to snatch all the memories that I had from him.

Squeezing them tight so they won’t go away.

I should have held him tighter on the day God took him.

Everyone tried to keep him on Earth.

Please don’t go!

Just one more day!

We all cried.

But God easily took him past the clouds.

Our tears fell

like the rain dropped.

Now everyday he sees me.

He must be happy to see me growing up.

Seeing my mistakes

and trying to fix them.

He watches the family

go on with their lives.

He watches us.

If only i could see him everyday,

squeezing him tight and never let go.

I miss him

I miss everyday that I’m not with him.

I miss YOU Grandaddy.

Love,

Claire
