You held me dear to your heart for so long,
it's hard to believe it's been years
you've been gone.
I've cried a million tears for you,
I see you in my dreams;
I try to keep my head held high,
with the exception of today
it seems.
I try to keep this day from coming,
but it happens once a year;
when all the moments of my childhood,
become all my fears.
Because I never wanted to live my life without you,
I never wanted to let you go,
but ever year on this day
my heart sinks so low.
The sorrow on loved ones' faces,
As each held a single yellow rose;
As my tears were inconsoleable,
but I see this is how our love goes.
So on this Day I keep writing to you,
because it hurts so much inside,
to remember Easter Sunday
As the Day my Grandfather died.
