you ever have that feeling something was wrong
and no matter what you do you'll always be late
or you just wont get there in time
i love you gradpa,
and im sorry i couldnt be there for you
i tried
i got in my car and drove as fast as i could
but it just seems that i couldnt make it
just like you couldnt hang on
because like life
when death comes you go when your ready.
maybe if i didnt pack those cloths
or write those notes
just maybe then i could have been there on time
to tell you on last thing
and im forever sorry that i couldnt be there
and tell you one time that i love you
and at the funeral
i couldnt bear to be in that cold room any longer
staring at the curators interpretation of what you look like
gramps ill never see you again
im sorry i couldnt be there for you in the end
i wrote you a note
and put it in your casket
i know youll never read it
but i know you have already seen it
i never told you how much you ment to me
and part of my heart will never be at piece
because i was just a little to late
but you had your own fate
and i know you held on
for your son my mother and grandmom
you were loved by many
and you wil be missed by all
