I can't really seem to put my feelings into words
You're slowly dying and there's nothing I can do,
to **** your cancer before it destroys you, too.

The thing is, this illness already captured your entire body
and while your gasping for air and keep on losing weight,
I see you and your blue twinkling eyes.

You're really a person I looked up to, you're my hero.
When I was little your arms were this big fort to protect me
A castle made out of steel and courage and life-experience.

Don't you dare to give up on me, real heroes last forever.
And I love you so much, I can't sleep nor eat,
I miss your voice. And it pains me to know you won't get better.

But I will pray for you with all of my heart, for you're my hero.
And heroes would be nothing without people to save.
But this time, grandpa, I'll save you.
