Don't Leave Me

Grampa~

What I wouldn't give to fight with you one more time
To have you hold me in your arms as I apolegized
Too see your eyes sparkle
To see the wrinkles around your eyes as you smiled
What I would have given to day
Good bye

I was just a child when you left
I grew up fast and I grew up hard
I can sweep, mop, dust, and clean bathrooms in record time
I can even cook now too
No more burning toast
And I'll take care of the boys
When I'm there over the summer

I still sing too, Grampa
In my spare time
And I think you'd be proud of some of the stuff I've writen
At least, I hope you would be

I can't visit you
But I go up that winding path
To see Butch
When I can
Not far from where you used to shoot

I have a picture of you
Hanging in my locker
I see a faded, wrinkled version
of your smile every day now

Grampa,
It's been hard
I'm not going to lie
I think about you every day
And in my heart
You'll never truely be gone

I'll go back to
Our special places
Every summer and
Think about all our special times together

I hope you're proud of who I've become
I don't want to let you down
Even now

Oh,
And Grampa,
I love you

The bell rang. I looked down at what was supposed to be my Social Studies notes. I glanced over at Megan who was packing up her stuff and really hoped she had been paying attention today other wise I was screwed.
