I Write Poetry

[center] For my Grandmother

By: Me
Written on May 27th, 2012

It came there in her passing, as her soul was finally free
That all the tears of the boy shown his misery

For he never understood back then for him she'd always be

A bigger part of all he was, even just in memories.

He carried forth his sorrow and carried forth his fears

He took them both to anger for oh, so many years

He stood there at the casket, and he wondered why

He cursed the God that claimed her, and felt he'd like to die

Yet still he kept on living and soon he learned on how to love

And though he missed her every day, he felt her up above

A fuller understanding took him many days

and every loss that he suffered, her memories came on in waves

And yet he kept on living he continued on and on

Remembering all she'd given though he felt so overdrawn

He remembered how she made him feel with just a simple smile

a soft pat upon his head or a kind word once and a while

And now he is full grown He's lived to be a man

Yet the loss of his dear grandmother is still something he can't stand
