Missing you - For Poppy

Missing You

It has been over a year but it still feels like yesterday,
I can still remember those awful words I heard my father say.

Your grandfather passed away last night,
I tried to hold my feelings in with all my might.

Realizing what I just heard a tear ran down my cheek,
I tried to run but my knees felt too weak.

Filled with these feelings of fright,
I held my father close and tight.

I thought in my mind this isn't the way it is suppose to be,
This is a mistake! You are supposed to be here with me.

There are lots of things about him I miss,
To have one last kiss would be my only wish.

Oh how I wish I could hold him near,
Not seeing him again is my biggest fear.

Ever since he has been gone there hasn't been one day,
that I haven't wondered why it had to be this way.
