The Hardest

The hardest thing in life is always to say good bye...and when you realize you 
can't even say how you feel?

i was missing my love, friend, teacher, and most importantly ma grandpa.

when he was on his death bed i was ready to say good bye before i said hello.

so now that i have realized i will never see him again i feel bad.

he use to tell me things and now i'm just beginning to understand them...

when i want to ask questions...i know i can't now...

he always told me i would do something great...now i have...(my writting)

but he will never be able to see me going them...only looking down on me...

i feel as thought i have failed you...but you were right...me and cheyenne are 
getting along better...

i have written so many poems but this is the hardest because i have to put so 
much onto this one...

i remember when i was real young...you use to tell me that "can't" wasn't in the 
robertson dictionary...

and i would say that i'm not a robertson...and all you would do is smile...

as i think back their was so much i could have learned from you and didn't...

and now to this day i'm still using can't...so i have failed you because i have given 
up...

and truth be told sometimes i still can't get over your eturnal slumber...

i miss the lessons you never got to teach me...

one thing i will do like a robertson is i keep trying...just for you...only you...

so as i say my prayers...keep me in mind and help me...keep my faith...and my 
love

Tis is a free verse poem for my grandpa Willie Robertson
May you Rest In Peace and watch over me
