If Only You Knew

Grandpa I miss you
If only you knew, 
I miss the stories you told 
Whether lies or the truth.
I miss the long summer days
As you drifted away,
I miss how your smile 
Brightened each day.
I miss your odd humor
And your childish ways,
I miss your golfer hats
Even though u never played.
I miss the rides to the bus stop
In the snow or the rain,
But most of all I miss you
Grandpa.
If only you knew…
