I can see you fade, I know its not too far off now, and I know you wont be there to protect me this time.
I take all the blame, I depend on you too much......
but you have never let me down so I had no other choice but to put my faith in you.
You were and still are the only person that could ever make me care about people,
Without you I would be a complete cold hearted bastard.
You proved to me through your life that loving people is a strength not a weakness
I just hope that when my battle comes you will look upon me and give me the strength to hold on
These things I have never said to you before...
I fear that I will never make you truly proud
I fear your death will be my death
I fear I know its closer than its ever been
I fear Im right
I can only say sorry for the times I failed
I can only say thank you for the times you picked me off the ground, dusted me off and said "its ok"
I don't have enough time left with you to show you what you mean to me
I pray my life will show that you did not fail because the simple fact that Im still alive should prove you didn't fail
The simple fact that your the only father I have had
The simple fact that your the only father I ever needed
The simple fact that I love you and can boldly say Your the reason I have good left in me
You showed me that my life was worth while
You gave a kid a protector
You showed me how to really care about someone
.......That should prove your life was priceless
~~To my grandfather the man who taught me how to love others and how to open my heart to people he is the only reason i can express feelings in my poems. i love poetry very much so its needed that i give him honor for his doings~
