graduation as my name is called
i get up from my seat
and walk across the stage
to grab my deploma
and thats when i see something
that made me look twice
their in the emty chair sits me grandfather
who died not to long ago
its not possible i tell myself
as i see that conforting smile
but when i look back again
i see that he is gone
that was his way of saying
i’m hear no matter what
and as i walked back to my seat
tears running down my face
my hands on my tattoo
on my shoulder in his name
i realize what i needed to
on that very day
that no matter whether hes here or not
hes always watching me from day to day
