Red roses stare at me Loud voices scream from the kitchen My grandfather is dying And they're paying cards I guess he's not quite dying But the pain meds make him loopy And the lack of food and liquid Make is voice scratchy and him Unbearably thin I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare me I'd be a liar if I claimed to not love him I guess I'm just not ready to lose him Because I can't stand the thought of losing another loved one
Red roses stare at me And I'm there with him Holding him tight I love you, Grampy Please don't go yet... Please don't go yet.... Please don't go.
I wrote this before my grandfather passed away in December, it was really hard losing him and we all miss him more and more each day.
