Rip Grandpa

Joesph Benjamin Ballard was your name, But I called you my Grandpa, Might not of had a lot of money to your name, You still walked with your head tall, June 20th I heard the news, Walking into that hospital, I was so confused, Feels like I just lost it all, 6:51am he decided to take you from me, Even knowing that your gone, its still so hard to believe, I've never had to live a day without you, And now it's driving me insane, It's not exactly easy to do, With all of this pain running through my veins, I always thought that you'd be here, To watch my children grow, Every time I think of you I shed a tear, There's so many things now that you'll never know, I didn't even have the time, To say my good bye, Wishing I could just press rewind, All I can do now is stare up at the sky, Knowing your right there with our family, Makes it just a little easier to breathe, Grandma wanted me to tell you that she misses you, Day after day, Praying she could have just told you I love you, One more time before you went away, You can see it in her eyes, Its like she died a little inside, But that would be no surprise, For your love was her guide,
