Grandpa

If you were here today, I'd tell you how much I've missed you.
I'd tell you that you've never left my mind
And that five years seems like just yesterday.
I'd say that I've never forgotten your waffles,
And that they are still the best I've ever had.
I'd tell you that your hat is still hanging in the garage where you left it
And that your words and songs still hang in my heart.
I'd tell you where I've been since you've been gone.
I'd share all my blessings.
And I'd listen to advice about my failures.
And I'd love you.
I'd love you just as I've always loved you.
This time I'd say it even more.

To my Grandpa
