Grandpa's swing

I saw grandpa's swing sway today
What's so special about that you say
My grandpa was a unique man who always had a way 
Of making everyone around him feel special every day 
I was his only granddaughter during his living years 
We had a bond that can only be expressed with tears 
He was the most amazing person I have ever known 
Because of his love and compassion I have truly grown 
I'm sure all granddaughters say the same 
About a grandpa with whom they share a name 
You showed me a sign today 
And all you had to do was make your swing sway 
As I paint your swing to protect the wood 
As you always protected me in every way you could 
I'm not sure why or how it's taken me so long 
Now I know as I'm writing these words just like a country song 
You never really went away 
When I need you I'll go to your swing and together we'll sway.
