The Pain Of Goodbye

Folder: 
Family





You told me that you wanted to go home,

And I told you that you already were.

But then it occured to me, that maybe "home",

Is somewhere I've never been before.



Maybe "home" is filled with angels,

Peace, and bright blue skies...

A place that isn't filled,

With painful secrets and lies.



Maybe "home" is Heaven,

And you're ready to leave this place.

I know that your life on Earth was fulfilling,

But I'm going to miss your smiling face.



I want to cry,

Because you don't always remember me,

But regardless, I still love you,

I'll never forgot those sweet memories.



I know that your time is almost over,

And I want to thank you for everything...

Your friendship, compassion, love,

Will always make my heart sing.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I stopped up at my grandmother's house tonight for a few minutes...and after asking her how she was doing, she replied with "I'd be better if I were home in bed." I told her with a smile to go to bed then, and she sadly told me "I want to go home". That inspired me to write this little ditty. I love you Grandma!
