My Grandpa's Funeral


**The funeral was today(June 5, 2012)** No goodbye You left without a spark The light left your eyes Left me in the dark All strength left me body All hope left my heart No light in your gentle eyes You left me in the dark... No apologies said Regret choking my mind I never got the time to prove How much you mean to me The casket lowers deeper And the cracks in my heart grow wider I'm usually not much of a crier But now I can't stop... I remember sitting with you Watching the hummingbirds outside your window You would joke with me Sometimes talk serious and loving... I haven't seen you in two years... But I saw you today No light in your eyes All of your soul drained... I didn't see you for two years... but I saw you today No light in your eyes All of your soul drained.....
