Grandpa,
I wish I had the fair chance
Of knowing who you were.
I wish I didn\'t harbor,
I wish you knew him
So that I heard stories of you from him.
I wish I knew my father
Or you, knew him
So that I would know who my father would be after knowing you.
I wish I didn\'t break,
I wish you hadn\'t perished
So that I knew you would love him, teach him, raise him.
I wish I didn\'t have to wish,
for you,
a longer life with him.
I wish you saw him grow.
I wish you showed him love.
I wish he saw you get old.
I wish he felt your love.
I wish he had the chance to be,
who he was meant to be.
I wish for a father,
Whom isn\'t who he used to be.
- your granddaughter
