Cancer Killed My Granda

Cancer killed my grandad, 
What had he done to deserve that? 
I may have only been one when he died 
but now im nearly 16 and every day i miss him more and more. 

I wish it was my dad and not him. 
My Grandad is my life 
I loved him even thouigh i was only one 
Now he's gone and i was too little to say good bye 

Get over it someone told me, 
Bloody cheek i thought 
how can i get over it  when i see him everyday, 
In photos all we do is play, 
I wish i had my grandad 

I really want him back 
Why did cancer have to take him away?
