Grandfathers Get Well Poem

He looked like he was attempting a hug, I deliver a hand shake
Why I think, Seems like regret rest within every decision I make
Illness trickles of grandfather; I hope I’ll have another chance before it’s too late
havoc has bestowed me so much my emotions don’t flow easily or show
but if I have another chance to hug my grandfather I’ll never let go

(My grandfather is currently in the hospital.  Cancer amongst other illnesses has weakened 
him to an all time low.  Please keep him in your prays)
