Array ( [sid] => 51104 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => More than words could say [time] => 2004-06-09 10:28:18 [hometext] => This was written by my 12 year old daughter Casey. She wrote it about the day my dad sat her on his lap and explained to her he was going to die but he would always be with her. [bodytext] => I sat on your lap
Looked in your eyes
The sense of hurt
Was yet a surprise
You were so happy
I was so young
I didn’t understand
That your life was now done


I sat on your lap
Looked in your eyes
The feeling of strength
Was yet a surprise
You were so weak
Yet so strong
It was hard to believe
That soon you’d be gone


I sat on your lap
Looked in you eyes
The sense of love
Was not a surprise
You are now gone
Yet your still here
You always told me
That you will always be near


I sat by your grave
Looked at the stone
Why you are gone
Is still left unknown

I used to blame god
For taking you from me
I was too young to understand
And to hurt to see

I realize now
That god is not to blame
For taking you away
And causing such pain!

I miss you grandpa
Each and every day
And Ill always love you
More than these words
Could ever say.
