PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

what happens when your hearts journey has come to an end,

what happens to the friends and family left behind

when God let's you into the pearly gates,

how will i continue to smile when all i have left are memories,

of the songs we used to sing,

those shows we'd watch on t.v.



i love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck,

do you remember, the song that you sang me,

cause i do,

i'll never forget you,

not only were you grandma,

you were my friend,

as i remember early mornings,

and you checking your change purse for change,

giving me just what i needed for lunch and something sweet,

well that was sweet and so are you,

i don't know what to say,

cause i love you so much,

it's gonna be different without you,

especially not being able to see you or feel your touch,

or hear you say,"hey baby, come give me some sugar."

or to eat your stuffing at thanksgiving,

or hear you laugh at my dumb jokes,

as i write this i can't help but get a lump in my throat,

cause i'm writing down words that i can't say to you,

cause you wouldn't understand,



i'm just glad that you were able to see me become a man,

a man that i know you would be proud to see,

cause you'll forever be a special part of me,

dear Grandma i think my thank you has come a little to late,

but thank you grandma...thank you,

dear grandma, this is my last good-bye...
