And as I was carrying his casket
He rose up and spoke to me
In words I could not understand
My heart was drenched in tears
I had never took the time to grieve
I woke up drenched in the sweat of my guilt
And I saw his eyes open
As we put him back in the ground
I called my pastor and he went into worship
Because I don’t know how to say grandfather I miss you three years from today
You keep showing up in my dreams and I can’t save you
I hear the sirens
And now I pray
Because I’m too scared to lay back down
Cancer was the cause of death
I don’t want to be swept up in its path
Grandad, I miss you three years from today
Happy 81st Birthday in Heaven
