Grandpa's Farewell

I have delighted in you since you were seven.
Saw your beauty when you reached age eleven.
My heart always moves when you are near.
But shortness of my time has made me fear.
I write these things so you know what you mean.
Because time will come when I'm no longer seen.
My world may end the moment I'm gone.
But you'll be in my heart in loving song.
