Grandpa,
You do not know me
And you never will
Because you died
Way before my time.
But if I could
I would have loved to know you
Because I wish I knew
Knew who you really were.
Were you stern
As stern as my daddy says.
Would you have loved me
For who I am.
I keep hearing stories about you
And it gets me wondering,
Could I have had them too.
Because it gets lonely
When you are the only one
Who does not have any stories
About who you were.
I just wish
I could have seen you
One, just one time
Before you had gone.
But I know God had other plans for you.
I wish I could have known you
But I know I never will
I just wanted to tell you though,
That I love and miss you so.
