The first son of my son arrived the other day,
Brother and sister born hand in hand.
Oh...what a wonderful bond.
Who would have known
two would be forever torn apart?
When Liam said goodbye to his sister Keira
after a few brief moments of togetherness,
Who would have known
You would be forever torn apart?
The pain in my heart, the tears in my soul are forever.
I will never get to talk silly baby talk, to get a smile or two,
and to sing the sleepy lullabies I wanted to sing to you
I wanted to rock you in my rocking chair,
Rock you to and fro;
Grandfather’s arms are not meant to be empty.
From the day your dad grew up and went away
I waited and waited for this day, but not this day.
I waited for my first baseball game with you,
I waited for to hold your hand as you took mine,
I waited for our first story together as you climbed into bed,
I waited for your first step and your first leap.
If my love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
Liam I will stop missing you…When I am with you.
Grand Dad
