Oh man, Chris. Sorry to here!! .

It's tough to loose someone, especialy a grandpa or good freind. I wrote a poem several years ago when my best "girl" "friend" was killed by a drunk driver. We were out driving (I was driving) and a drunk driver crossed the road, t-boned us and slammed the truck into the side of a bridge.

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew my cheek and cold,
Colder than my kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
My vows are all broken,
And light is my fame:
I hear my name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name you before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes over me
Why were you so dear?
They know not I knew you,
Who knew you too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
