Searching

by Kia   Apr 24, 2005


I'm looking for you Granddaddy
As I go back to that place
But I cant find your truck
And I don't see your face

Why did you leave Granddaddy
And where did you go
Where are you Granddaddy
I really need to know

Pictures and stories remind me of you
While thinking of my sixteen years
I'm reminded of all the good times
And with a smile I fight off the tears

As all this runs through my head
Happiness and tears soon collide
I miss your goofy smile
And the funny things you said

I miss all your stupid jokes
And the laughter they would bring
I miss all your useful sayings
Which taught me many things

I miss the way you made me laugh
I think of you when i hear that song
"How Great Thou Art" now makes me cry
And even though I know your gone

I'm still looking for you Granddaddy
Again As I go back to that place
But I still cant find your truck
And I still don't see your face

    Wow that was really deep, it was truely a poem from the heart and not just for "public likeings"

    You showed that you really loved him, and such a great person he was, my best friend's grandpa just passed away today, and she was so upset, and my grandma is really sick, I'm worried i'll be writing a poem like this soon, about her being gone, hang in there, and think of all the special memories you two have shared, he's in a better place, 5/5

    In reading this one can see that you kind of HAD to write this all down. Some times stuff like this can come out and that's just that but this is beautifully written and so heartfelt. Beautifully done.

    Though I do have a suggestion:
    "your" 'I know your gone' should be you're
    "I miss the way you made me laugh
    I think of you when i hear that song
    "How Great Thou Art" now makes me cry
    And even though I know your gone"
    This stanza threw the flow off just a bit. Well just the last 2 lines really....I got caught up on the last 2 lines while reading this. Maybe you could just take the title out and leave that song to the reader's imagination..>What ever you do it's still perfect....
