Another Farewell

I understand that everyone dies,

I just wish it wouldn't hurt so much.

So now I say goodbye,

Goodbye to a grandfather I barely knew,

But still loved all the same.

Goodbye to that cheerful man,

The man I knew before the disease

Claimed your mind.

I don't know if you're in heaven,

Or just dead here on this earth,

But whatever the case may be,

After many long years,

And many struggles,

You are truly at peace.

We will always love you,

We will always miss you,

We will always remember you.
