PoemVidz: Poetry and Video ecards

As I watched you laying there so calm
I could have sworn that you were sleeping
The years of stress were no longer there
The shadow of pain had left your face

It seemed like you were napping Grandpa
Like you used to do on hot summer days
There was certainly a peace about you
I swear you looked relaxed to me Grandpa

Like a man resting after a long journey
I know that you are gone forever more
I will miss you for the rest of my life
But you looked like you were sleeping

As I think back to that day
When I saw you lying there
You could have been sleeping
Peaceful without a care

Your time on earth was done
And now I shed tears of sorrow
Your time to rest had come
There was no more tomorrow

I will not forget that day Grandma
We left the cemetery weeping
And I kept thinking to myself
You could have been sleeping
