Grandpa

Sitting there

I think of where you have been

Praying to God

That this will not be the end

You have fought for survival

And you are determined to win

When they looked at us hopelessly

We refused to give in

You have your family

All by your side

You told you that you would make it

Even though you think we’ve lied

Grandpa, we need you

There is so much we need

Without you with us

What kind of life will we lead?

Maybe I am selfish

And only thinking of me

But I am your princess

And that how I want it to be

I don’t want you to give up

I want you to live

I am begging and pleading

With all I have to give

But I guess whatever happens

Is part of God’s will

I am sure eventually

I will have to heal

So I am giving this up

And God can do the rest

And I am sure

I can pass this test

One last thing

That I hope you know

We all love you

And I hope it shows
