The monitor slowly beeped
You sighed your last breath
The heart I had loved so dearly
Was still with no beat.
A eight year old girl sat on the floor
Her heart was heavy
She knew you had gone.
Gone to the gates of heaven to be
With the woman you let go so long ago.
God let her down,
She lost her faith
The man she called Grandad
Was taken away.
You lived.
You loved.
You fought the greatest fight
But grew tired.
Now, your face is blurred
Your smell is gone
Your voice is silent
But your hard to forget.
You thought me lessons
I still live today.
My Grandad
My friend.
Oh why were you taken away .

But your hard to forget.
