Papo

Long gone are the days where youre gone for weeks on end

Now are the days where i watch you fight for even i tiny bit of strength is God punishing me for my sins?

Because none of this seems fair

I cried when i got the news. Cancer has taken ahold of your body hoping it doesnt spread

No amount of words can capture the pain i could express

I learned from you that nothing is perfect but try your best.

Everything youve done for me is something I'll never forget

Your body has become fragile but you havent lost your soul

Ive never felt so helpless its out of both of our control

I know I'll never be ready to let you go.

I will never forget the stories you used to tell.

Of your marine days fighting wars and living hells.

I wish God had taken someone else.

But now you’re one of heavens members.

I’ll miss our times by the fire.

Your laughter fading out with its embers.

I’ll always think of you fondly.

I can still hear your voice whisper through the wind softly.

I look at the stars and know you’re watching.

Thank you for the memories.

For you I’ll be all I can be.

I know you have your wings now.

I know it’s time to let you go now.

You’re the best grandpa I could ever ask for.

But it’s time for your soul to soar.
