Grandfather

I loved him oh, so dearly, he was one of my best friends.

And as most of my family knows, these friendships should never end.

But early one March morning, while I was resting in my bed, my Grammy came in my room and this is what she said:

"Grampy has stopped breathing, this is the end."

At that very moment I knew that he was dead.

Cancer killed him slowly, but now the suffering and pain was gone.

I heard a voice of peace, whispering, "It will be all right, he has moved on."

Through this experience, this is what I learned:

When someone dies they stay inside your heart so we should not be concerned.

I loved him oh, so dearly, he was one of my best friends, but as a small amount of people know, these friendships never have to end.

Forgive me, but it was one of my first poems. Oh, well...
