I Miss You
You were the kindest man there was.
You never raised your voice.
You never spoke unkindly about anything.
A friend and companion to all.
Your life was long and full,
Your stories, so interesting to hear.
The sound of you singing, magical to all ears.
A great father, a loving husband,
And the sweetest Grandfather.
You were loved by all.
Your life inspires me everyday.
I want to be just like you,
My best role model.
And we were so alike in many ways.
You are someone who I feel I could talk to about anything,
And you would always make it better.
Even though all I have left of you is a few memories,
Some stories, pictures, and a letter,
I feel as though you will always be with me, inside,
To help me through bad times,
Or to be happy with me when I'm happy.
I came into your life as you were slipping away.
I was young, I barely remember.
And I would give anything to remember,
To have a conversation with you,
To feel you hug me.
But I do know a few things.
That you love me so much, and I love you too,
That you are proud of me and everything I do,
And that, even though I didn't know you for long,
I miss you more than anyone else.
