I don't want you to leave me I want you to always be by my side I don't want you to disappear Not be swept away by times tide
It's the only certain thing in this world The hands of time will never stop But the time I have is never enough Please someone turn back the clock!
Your hair has greyed but your face kind Your teeth are false but your words are true Your smile is old but still as warm Some day I wish I could be just like you
I want you to live for an eternity But even an eternity has to end I can do nothing no matter how hard I try The scars of time will never mend
The memory of you will last forever I will always remember our bond So all I can do is wish you luck In the world that is beyond
I wrote this poem for my grandpa, who just recently turned 80. He has lymphoma and spends most of his time is a hospital. I love him very much and he will always be a big part of my life.
