You asked me for a poem
written by my hand.
A poem to hold you in a special light,
and make others understand.
There is such a bond between us.
Its from Heaven, sent to Earth.
Its been there since you held me,
on the day of my birth.
But there’s a problem with my task,
a challenge you can’t see.
For no words are fit to describe
what you mean to me.
A papa, a father, an angel.
All of this you are in my world
My guiding light and salvation,
while I’m just your little girl.
You led me through life’s storms,
held my hand when lightning flashed.
Then when my world was crumbling
You rescued me from the crash.
Many years have passed us,
and many things have changed.
But where you’re held in my heart
Words still cannot explain.

~~~I wrote this for my grandfather, who means a lot to me. Probably one of the very few blood relatives I can stand to be around.~~~

Haley~
I would think that ANY grandfather would be proud of the words you wrote for yours~
I'd say he is a very fortunate man to have such a wonderfully expressive granddaughter~

Bless you ... have you give this to him yet ?

If you did, or if you do, please let me know what he thought of it~
I'm betting he gives/gave you one great BIG HUG~

Hi Haley,

I just wanted to say that this is one of the best poems, by you, that I've ever read. It expresses exactly how I feel about my grandfathers and my dad. You’ve explained it when I could even explain it myself in this poem. I am going to put this one in my library…

Thanks for sharing

wow this is so touching i honestly thought it was about God at first but so many things could be translated in that its just how your mind is working when you read something as to how you see it i think. thanks for sharing though.

It's already been said, but this is just such a touching poem by you!  I'm glad to hear that you and your grandfather have such a special bond and how close you are.
