This poem is dedicated to my Grandpa Jack. Thank you for always being there for me.

You didn't have to die

I wish you could see me as I graduate

Dressed in cap, gown, and tassel

Shining with ambitious dreams

Surrounded by my friends


I wish you could see me recite this to you

Every verse, line, syllable

From beginning to very end

Like a song just for you


I wish you could see how much I miss you

The tears, longing, and regret

Hoping you still are there

Hoping you see me and smile


I hope you're happy now

Looking down on me from heaven

Even if I fervently wish

You didn't have to die
