Grandfather

Living One's life Demanding respect Just to end up shriveled and barely breathing In a hospital bed Touching so many people and creating a grand family To forget it years later with a horrible disease I am so sorry That you have to go But i won't make you stay Because you suffer so I am so sorry to let you leave But i know you would understand For so long, we have grieved Goodbye, know that we Love you Now, close your eyes tight We will never forget our Grandfather So, please just rest tonight
