I'M Sorry
I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you slipped away,
I battle with my guilt every single day.
I did come to see you, so I could kiss you goodbye,
I felt your soul had already left, I couldn't watch the rest of you die.
You had the stronger ones around you, they were there to hold your hand,
The pain of losing you, was more than I could stand.
I know you don't think any less of me,
You know that I will love you for all eternity.
The world lost a gentleman, the best I've ever known,
I carry our memories in my heart, so I never feel alone.
With your love for life and your Lion's heart,
As an influence on my life, you still have the leading part.
I miss your smile and laughter, your stories too,
I think about you every day, no matter what I do.
I know you walk beside me, to guide me on my way,
Grandad there's so much more, I would like to say.
You already know this and you know it's true,
I Love You with all my heart and I Miss You Too!
