I always look to the stars
and check the brightest one,
I whisper how much I miss you
and still love you a ton.
I wish that you were here
with that sparkle in your eye,
why did you have to leave?
I wasn\'t ready to say goodbye.
I need your wisdom to guide me
and your knowledge to see me through,
but most of all dear Grandad
what I need is you.
I know your there above me
looking down to see we\'re alright,
I hear your voice in the wind
and dream of you at night.
I\'ve carried on your name
through my darling daughter,
I wish you could have met her
and wonder what you would have taught her.
The angels came and took you
that horrible day back then,
it still upsets me to this day
as I pick up my pen.
You left 18 yrs ago
to this very day,
god sent the angels to get you
and you were on your way.
My Grandad was suddenly gone
and my life turned upside down,
the smile I once had
then became a frown.
I think of you always
no matter how long its been,
when I need you, I know your there
cos I see you in my dream.
Till next year Grandad
When I write to you again,
to pour my little heart out
as I put paper to pen
