My Grandpa

I remember my grandpa when he used to smile
But when he started getting sick he didn't for awhile
Then he got Alzheimer's and his smile and him were gone
It's like when he got sick he was a completely different person

With his disease he would forget a lot
The doctors would say with his disease he could die but he fought
When he passed away I was heartbroken
It felt like half of me was gone

Even though I miss him I know he's in a better place
At night when I'm dreaming,I'm dreaming of his face
When I get to missing him a lot I just sit and know he's with me
That's what keeps me going

Knowing that he's here with me
I know that he can look at me and see
When he was very sick he lost his sight,nobody knew why
When he could see he used to smile at me but then it was a blank stare

I seen signs of him getting weaker and weaker I knew it wasn't long
I sometimes wish I could have made him a song
He used to be someone I could always talk to
But even though he's gone he's the only one I can talk to

When I look at his pictures beside my bed
I can always hear what he said
"You're my granddaughter",and that was the last thing he said to me
No matter how far we are from each other,I will never forget him

I keep reminiscing when he went to my softball games
He never thought what I was playing was ever lame
Every time I'd hit the ball he would always cheer me on
When I would be in the dugout I could still hear him cheering

Now that I'm older I understand why death occurs
But knowing he's not in this horrible world I feel secure
At least when he died he knew where he was going
He's happier than being here
