the beating of his heart took it's toll,
he was no longer in control.
he was on god's map, he wanted him too.
grandpa if not anything, i hope you know i love you.
i was emily, your shorty as long as i can remember.
we'd take nice long walks in the month of september.
you'd tell me stories that i'd be ending up memorize,
now that you're gone it's kind of one big surprise.
i just saw you monday, your body looked so weak.
your eyes said it all though you couldn't speak.
the tears in them when they were open,
were the words that you might as well have spoken.
i know you were suffering there at the end of it all,
but now you're awaiting heaven's welcoming call.
i could write a book for you since at a young age,
every story or adventure would be another page.
i look back at all the amazing life you lived,
& all of the wonderful things that you did.
lila dosen't know anything or where you are,
one minute she gets it the next she's so lost & far.
empty silence welcomes me to think,
all the flashbacks with you can all play in a blink.
just like the speed you die, a blink of an eye.
i promise just for you i'll try not to cry.
i read you a poem a couple days ago.
i hope you heard it because it meant to me so.
i'm sorry we didn't visit more & we came at the end,
if it was up to me we would've been there many times again.
you can't take back the past but you can it fix now.
i'll be there for your wife, for my abuela somehow.
i can see it now your funeral will be amazing.
beautiful colors, pleasant people, breathtaking landscaping.
all for you to welcome you aboard,
to say goodbye from this life you live no more.
i love you grandpa so much.
te amo.
