Don't Go

By: Chrystal Lyn Gibson

I think about you from time to time
I also dreamt about you the other night
In my dream you were hugging me
you said, "My Dear Granddaughter I am so proud of you
I was with you throughout your life even though I am gone,
that's why you always thought about me, you know its true.
I was so proud on graduation day!
I would have given anything to stand up and say how proud I was
of my granddaughter for toughing it out and for getting A's.
All I ever wanted was to see you succeed and now I want you
to follow your dreams. I loved you then and I love you now.
I just want to hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you.
Thank you for remembering all of the times that we had. I regret
that we couldn't have more but you keep me alive in your life and
I am so glad. Please don't cry. I don't want you to be sad.
I am here with you right now.
Please talk to me and tell me what you know."

My grandpa, I never thought I would get to hold you again
the way I did when I was little. I sure miss you so.
I beg you please don't go. I want to stay with you.

"My granddaughter you have your whole life ahead of you.
I will be with you day-to-day because you will make sure
my memory stays."

(Then after that, he went away.)
