[hometext] => My great grandfather is dying. He recently had a stroke and he can't see or feed himself or get out of bed. I have only a few weeks to say good bye.
[bodytext] => Dear Grandpa The doctors told me that you're dying and that you can't see at all You're losing weight and your time has come You don't want to live at all For 5 years now you've talked of dying, you've been through so much pain But do you remember when I was small And I'd sit on your lap and you would tell the stories from your days? You fought in wars for our family You survived after many loses I wish I could borrow some of your bravery right now I wonder how I looked the last time that you saw me Was it on Father's Day when we strolled hand in hand down the garden of flowers? I remember helping you plant some, when I was very young The garden meant everything to you But now you want nothing at all I know your time is drawing near and you are wanting to leave And I know that I am being selfish, but I want you here with me I've never lost anyone that I was so close to If there is a God, why does he take away the ones I love? I know I'm being selfish, I know that you want death But I don't know if I am ready to say good-bye to you What about our memories that you will leave behind? What of all the broken hearts that you will leave to cry? I don't know how to let go I've never lost a loved one I don't want to loose you I need you here with me I guess I should just pray that you die happily Sound within your sleep Dear Grandpa, when you die, please don't forget me I love you [comments] => 6 [counter] => 389 [topic] => 23 [informant] => Katie2008 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
