A Piece Of Heaven

I saw you in my dream last night,

it felt so real it felt as if you were alive.

I miss you so much,

and even though people say you are still with me

frankly it isn't enough.

I want to feel you,

I want to see you,

I want to hear you.

I miss the jokes you used to tell,

and the way you liked to have your hair combed.

In your last days you knew we had to be strong

so you did everything you could to make us feel loved

and you didn't allow us to feel sad.

I thank you everyday for that.

I want to be in Heaven,

I know that's where you will be.

I hope when it is my time

you will stand before me with open arms.

My dearest grandpa,

I promise it won't be long.
