Goodbye

I come home to see you the face I know well The face I hold true But now I cant tell There is something wrong here Something sad something heart wrenching It has to be something I fear For if not you wouldn't be sitting crying "What is it love tell me" "It is your Grandfather he has fallen ill" This can't be I drop and lay completly still This is not happening again How bad this time? will this time end his pain Will i walk and hear the church bells chime I walk to the open casket and there he is The man that i looked up to for many years I lean down and give his forehead a gentle kiss And its impossible to hold the tears
