Goodbye Grandma

The little girl’s grandma lied dying in bed.

She stands nearby listening to what is said.

Her eyes had tears she tries hard not to shed, nor show.

Her grandma smiles, for there isn’t much she doesn’t know.

As each day turns a new page, she wishes that she might have lived to an older age.

She has given up hope, for the time has come where she must learn to cope.

I must be strong, but I don’t want to live long.

Despite my pain and tears, I doubt my heart will heal.

Grandma has forever closed her eyes, if only I could have said the final goodbye.

Her memory is fading out of my head, I still can’t believe she’s dead.

What seems that long off really is not far.

Do you still think of me wherever you are, wherever that may be, is it nice in Heaven?

I know you made it there.

Do you know that I still care?

I have to understand an angel has come to take you by the hand.

I cry today, harder than yesterday, while thinking of the things I didn’t get to say.

I think of all the yesterdays, the good ones and bad.

I think of all the love we shared and the good times we had.

I wish I could see you, even if it was just for a while, just to see your smile.

For now your gone to Heaven far above and left behind the ones you dearly love.

I’d give up forever just to touch you once more.

I’d sit next to you, just the two of us.

I’m trying to make you proud, but all of my dreams have been covered by a cloud.

I know I have to move on, but I can’t believe that she’s gone.

Those days we shared are gone, her laugh, her smile, her touch, her voice, her beauty, all I have is her sweet memory. It’s all gone.

Goodbye Grandma.
