Grandpa Visited Me

While eating dairy cheese before bed,

I sensed nothing could go wrong for it never did,

But once I shut thine eyes,

The visions started to appear,

But it wasn't just any vision but Grandpa coming to visit.

He said to me "How are ya, champ."

As I replied "It can't be, Grandpa why are you in my dreams."

He retorted "I thought I was due a mere visit."

Last I saw him was in 2006 when he passed away from colon cancer,

I simply was amazed to see my grandpa again after all I wished him dead to begin with.

But we just sat there I wanted my dream to freeze so I could be there forever,

Until I opened my mouth and said "I'm sorry for that wish I said all those years ago, I feel guilty for causing your death"

He then said with a sigh "How many years are you gonna beat yourself for that wish you said."

"For as long as I'm alive." I replied

He then went on to tell me that I was going to join him soon in heaven,

So that when I die it wont be a surprise,

He told me, he saw my future and it was very bleak. 

I asked him when, 

As to then he said "Soon and heaven is beautiful."

My dream then started to shift from me being unconscious to wide awake,

Seeing him again brought back painful memories,

It was a nightmare in my opinion.
