Broken Soul

Can't sleep
Start to weep
As i hang my head in sorrow
Wandering how I'll even make it til tomorrow

My grandfather died
I sat and I cried
Emotions on the floor
With an emptiness inside

Wish I had one day
By your side I would stand
And tell you that I love you
While I hold your hand

No one will ever care
As much as I did
Great memories I have
Since I was just a kid

I know that you are gone
But you will never cease
Just want to say I love you
And may you rest in peace

Memories of the people we love remain in our hearts forever. Your grandfather will be watching over you always. He knows what is in your heart. I am sorry for your loss. My friend died just before Christmas from cancer, I miss her too. A wonderful tribute to your grandfather, I am sure he is very proud of you.
