PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It’s been almost twenty years now...

Since you’ve passed away...

I still remember how I felt

That cold November day...



My mind went blank, my heart went heavy...

When I heard the words...

I went into shock, complete denial...

I know I cried so many tears...

I could have filled The River Nile.

I would have given anything to have you back...

To see your beautifully warm smile.



You were the most incredible man to this little girl...

I was always proud you were MY Papaw...

I wouldn’t trade you for the world.



Even after all this time, I still cannot forget...

The very last words you spoke to me...

I couldn’t hear...

That’s something I’ll always regret.



I do know now, that one sweet day...

We will be together again...

And when you see me, please let me be your

“Little girl”, and rub my cheek with the stubble on your chin.



So, until we see each other next...

Know that I will NEVER say “Goodbye”...

I choose to keep you with me...

You are forever present in my life.



I love you Papaw!!
