Goodbye Granddad

Gravity pulls my tears into pools. Im sinking in sorrow -emotional fuels. Just turn back the time, I just want a moment. To say goodbye once, to cherish and own it. I loved my granddad - a man more than great. Paired with my Granny as the perfect mate. A montage of memories that rush my soul. My eyes fill with tears, I'm losing control. Just keep it together, it's what he would want. They all say the same, but I stand in front. Happiness swells, yet sadness prevails. Like Christ on the cross, with hands full of nails. Life has a reason, and death isn't treason. -It's moving on up.. A lifetime's a season. I look to the sky and say my goodbye. The time won't turn back, I gave it a try. I close my eyes and imagine this- Paradise in a place full of bliss. World peace in a piece of the world. Without loss and bombs never hurled. Snow that falls that doesn't freeze. Sun that shines that doesn't cease. A land where "The forever" is real. A scene where the sick always heal. Life with infinite love, like gusts in the wind. Two little doves, with eternities to spend. God has a plan, fool-proof to the core. Now Granddad's with him, a reward of much more. -Yours Truly

I read this one at his service for him. I wish he could've heard it :/ I sure wish I had a chance to say goodbye.
