I Miss You Grandpa

( I MISS YOU GRANDPA )

                                        I sat on your lap
                                      Looked in your eyes
                                       The sense of hurt
                                       Was yet a surprise
                                       You were so happy
                                         I was so young
                                       I didn`t understand
                                That your life was now done


                                         I sat on your lap 
                                       Looked in your eyes
                                     The feeling of strength 
                                       Was yet a surprise
                                       You were so weak
                                          Yet so strong
                                     It was hard to believe
                                   That soon you`d be gone


                                         I sat on your lap
                                        Looked in you eyes
                                         The sense of love
                                         Was not a surprise
                                         You are now gone
                                         Yet your still here
                                        You always told me 
                                 That you will always be near


                                       I sat by your grave
                                      Looked at the stone
                                       Why you are gone
                                       Is still left unknown

                                      I used to blame god
                                    For taking you from me
                               I was too young to understand
                                       And to hurt to see

                                          I realize now
                                 That god is not to blame
                                    For taking you away
                                  And causing such pain!

                                     I miss you grandpa
                                    Each and every day
                                  And Ill always love you
                                  More than these words
                                      Could ever say.
