About the Poem

I wrote this poem while grieving over my grandfathers death. I didn't know how to cope because I have never had anything like this happen to me before. I found that by expressing my words in writing that it had a magical affect on my life.

I Miss You

by Melissa

I miss you, PawPaw, very much,
You gave my life a special touch;
You did get angry and you did get mad,
But when you were gone I was nothing but sad;
Now that you've left I feel there's nothing more,
A piece of my heart, I felt was torn;
I went to see you I really did try,
But I knew it would be our last good-bye;
I saw your Angel she opened my eyes,
Even since then, I'm not afraid to cry;
I carry your Angel here by my side,
It is in her, that I can confide;
I know one day we'll be together,
I will long for that day forever and ever.

That poem was so sweet! My Poppy passed away a few years ago and this poem is helping me cope with his death better. My friend told me (when I got mad at her) that I should move on. Not let go but move on. I think I should do that too. I just don't know if I can do that. But I will try.

Sabrina

I really liked yur poem. I was just looking up poems on death to get an idea of how to wrie a poem and express my feeling towards my grandfather who died on saturday september 27, 2003 and i came across yours. Also it's the first time that someone so close to my family died it is very hard to coup with this. my condolence goes out to you and your family.

Dee Dee

Even though this poem was written by you for your grandfather, it is exactly how I have felt since last Sept. 19th when I lost my Father to cancer. I looked to the computer for poetry that I could use for the remembrance I am to have printed in our local newspaper on the anniversary of his death. When I read this poem I knew it was the one. I am not good at expressing my feelings through words, but you did a wonderful job explaining mine and my Father's relationship. I am deeply touched by your work! Thank you so much for your help!

Remely

I really enjoy it. It makes me cry, I lost my grandma last year and then grandpa this year and it really breaks my heart to know that they are gone. I really miss them a lot.

Janeen

my grandfather passed yesterday, thank you for the beautifull poem, i was with him through the whole thing up until his angel took his hand and flew up to heaven. godbless you

amy

i really loved this poem. i lost my paw-paw June13,2001 just a couple of years ago . that was the hardest thing that i have ever had to go through. i've lost many other people in my life but no body compared to my paw-paw . i know exactly how you feel . and i was only 16, and i just graduated and that was hard enough to not see him face to face there. and i'm his first g-child. but thank you for this poem its very good and made me feel better. God bless ! and no matter what just remember that he is still here with you even though you cant see him and dont be afraid to talk to him . hang in there !

Albana

Melisa I understand how you feel when loosing your grandad. I lost my grandad juts three days before the war broke out in my country and we didn't have time to grieve which always hurt me. I dream him very often and it is very hard but by the time you will get over the pain. I like your poem very much.

Anda

Melissa

It has now been 6 years since the death of my PawPaw, i have learned to cope but even though its been so long, there are times that i can't hold back the tears. thank you all for taking time to read this and i am glad it has some meaning to you too. Love always, Melissa (the author).
