Grandma 2

Five years on,
And the feeling’s still strong -
I miss you as much as before.

I’m still thankful for the days
And all the simple ways
When we laughed and talked some more.

To me you are a star,
Shining over me from afar,
Guiding me along the way.

With the angels you shall sleep.
And in my dreams, I’ll keep
Your memory alive each day.

To say goodbye

Today or tomorrow

Would at least allow

The time for me

To express my love.

But yesterday

Took you away

And the grief is here to stay.

As I wish I held you tight

And bid you a good night

For your journey along the way.

But with each day

I feel your love

I feel your presence.

And while the sadness remains

The memories have become the strength

That make each day

More possible and positive still.

I must bid you Adieu.

But this I say to you:

In my head and arms you will forever be.

For everything and more,

My appreciation will never end.

You may have been family,

But I want to thank you for being my friend.
