A Grandchilds Love

My little boy held me tight
as the tears rolled down his face,
and i tried to explain to him
that your in a better place,

he didn't understand
why you had to go away
but i want my grandpa back
was all he would say

it's tough when the one you love
has to die,
because it's hard to explain to a child
that this will be your last goodbye

So I told him he'll see your face in the
pictures on the wall
and when he closes his eyes to remember
the last time he threw you the ball.

but mommy it wont be the same
was all he said,
because i wont get to sit with him
next to his hospital bed

i wont be able to hear him tell me
he loves me anymore,
or him telling me to shut
the front door,

so i sat him down
and explained to him
that someday he
will see him again

just keep the memories
of your grandpa in your heart
and remember son
nothing can tear his love apart
