Grandpa

The day that you left us
You didn’t say good-bye.
God was calling his angel home,
There was no time to ask why.

How we cried when you left
The pain was felt by all.
Memories now is all we have
And your pictures on the wall.

Though I cannot see you,
I know that your still here.
In my memories you will always live,
In my heart you’re always near.

Tears have fallen for you,
Some happy and some sad.
A man that I grew up to love,
A man I called my Grand-Dad.

We miss you very dearly,
You’re missed very much.
You will never be forgotten,
You’re in a child’s touch.

I feel very touched by this poem. I just lost my Grandma last month. 9/23. She was like my mom. She’s the one who raised me. I’m deeply sorry for your lost.

hey its a really nice, flowing and emotional poem, but try not to end so abruptly. try to ease into the ending. i’m not trying to bash your poem by saying anything bad about it. i’m just trying to help you become a better poet. so try a new ending and if you’re happy with it, keep it. God bless you and your grandpa and good luck becoming a better poet!

Nice poem, but I believe if you just stretched it out a bit longer, it would have been more intense.
3 stars from me :)

This poem is really sad. My grandpa died about 9 years ago and I can’t remember how he was. I was a little girl when he died.I could remember that he was really nice.

Dear Stormy :
I really enjoyed reading your poem and am sorry to hear about your grandfather. I lost my Nonno (grandpa in italian) a few weeks shy of a month ago, and know how insufferable, and unbearible losing someone who means the absolute world to you can be. That poem touched my heart for it was a beautiful tribute to your grand-dad, and i know that he is very proud as he smiles down and watches over you. i know when my Nonno past away everyone kept telling me to be strong…
but i don’t, and never have, wanted to. i have crieded myself to sleep countless times and have mourned myself dry. i still talk to him every night, and even wrote my speech (a 3-5 minute speech that we have to do in school, about any topic we please) about him, what he has blessed me with, and his long battle with cancer (and i won!). if you don’t mind i plan to use this poem in a poetry assignment where we have to find 5 poems off the internet that we enjoy.
thanks again…
