Grandpa.....

How far I've come from where I've been
it still amazes me to this day
that little girl that walked away
from anyone who tried to say I was wrong
when all along they were right
Man I wish I had taken the time to listen
To absorb as much wisdom as they had to offer
If only there were a way to stop the time
To rewind just a little while ago
to the time when you told me so
I would take back what I said that was mean
Telling you I didn't care what you think
I didn't mean it
I had a mouth and I couldn't keep it quiet
Not even for one second
and now I regret it
wasted time that could have been spent with you grandpa
Time I can't get back
and the fact is that I miss you
what I've been going through
I just know in my heart that you
You would've known just what to say
You would've told me to pray until my knees were sore
To give it all to God until I couldn't give anymore
You were always so faithful
in times so painful
You remained grateful for what you did have
and I truly miss that
influence in my life
Wish I would've had just one last goodbye
One last time to tell you I'm sorry
I didn't know it all
I'm sorry I didn't show at all
how much I loved you
I pray that you can forgive me
