“My Grandfather”
So many emotions hitting me at once, not knowing what to do,
Not knowing anything, helpless, without a single clue.
I don’t want to see you go; you meant so much to me.
That one day when you reach the gates of heaven, you will see.
I look to the corner of the room, to see you sitting in your chair.
It breaks my heart in two not to see you resting, not seeing you there.
You will always mean everything to me, no matter the years that may pass.
I will always miss you, but I know that I will see you again, at last.
When you are in God’s arms, safe and healthy again, we will dance.
Because when you were healthy, I never had a chance.
Dancing was a way of life for you, something you did each day.
Now all you can do is sit in a bed talking to Jesus and pray.
There was not one thing in you that had ever made me fret.
Never once have I ever seen you as a threat.
They say you only have little time left on this place.
It will be hard to imagine you no longer here, and but in God’s warm embrace.
Sometimes I hide my feelings and try to be strong and well.
But really on the inside, I am scared, hiding like a snail in its shell.
I have to be strong for you, I cannot let you down.
For it would break my heart to ever see you make a frown.
So as for now it is goodbye, but not for long.
You must always be there, watching over me, staying strong.
One day, I will see you again and we will dance.
And this time I will be sure to get a chance.

It's very beautiful and filled with love you obviously feel for your Grandfather.
After my Grandmother passed away I wrote a (spontaneous )poem. I was embarrassed to share it, but a few friends said it was good.
So, I typed it up and with my Grandma's name on the front and made copies to share with the rest of the family. I think that it was a nice way to think about her and have a tangible thought to take back home.
Best wishes in the upcoming weeks for you.

That sounds very good. I hope that things will turn around for your grandfather and he will get more time to live. Tell him hope he feels better and good luck going through this. I know what its like I lost both my grandparents when I was 2 or 3.
God will do what is right. Good Luck
