Christmas time

Christmas time

At last it is Christmas time, it is finally here
Its time for presents, fun and cheer
Open up the presents, smiling at the things I receive
But tomorrow will come and I will begin to grieve

For tomorrow I must say goodbye to a memory
Of a soul lost ten year ago, someone I’ll never forget…
Someone kind and pure, my grandad in fact
No one tried to help, not even I, I still do regret

I was 5 when he passed but I still remember it clear
The peace on his face, unlike any I’d seen in years
I never properly said good bye, I just stood there in shock
I loved him so much, it hit me like a rock

It is now up to me to say my final goodbyes
I have to let go, even though my heart sighs
I’ll leave him at last is what I have to do
Letting go will be tough, but I’m sure I’ll make I through

So, heres my goodbye wrote here in word
As I don’t have the strength to say it aloud… how absurd
Well good bye grandad its time for me to let go
I’ll never forget you, and I’ll always miss you so…
