My grandfather

I miss your words of wisdom
I miss your caring words
I miss how you took care of me
I miss how you raised me

I don't fully understand
Why you had to fall under cancers hand
I wish I had more time to say
I love you please stay

I miss how you shaped me
I miss how you saved me
I miss being guided by thee
I miss the light you brought into my life

How short the time we had
Yet it seems so far away
I would give anything to see you for a day
You cared for me when I was but a lad

I miss you for your words
I miss you for your wisdom
I miss you for your presence
But most of all I miss you because grandpa
I love you
