"The Woman"
I sit beneath the star filled sky, and remember what she told me one day.
And all the memories my grandmother left me, in my heart will forever stay.
The woman that would love me, and hold me close to her heart.
And love me for eternity, telling me she shall never part.
The woman with the smile that filled the room with love.
And with the heart so pure, even purer than a dove.
The woman that would heal my wounds, physical or in my heart.
And use her loving kiss, to make my pains depart.
The woman that made me cherish things, like my family which I hold dear.
And taught me that a family split apart, should be my greatest fear.
The woman that wore the perfume, that left the scent deep in my soul.
To help me remember her forever, even as my age grows old.
The woman that told me life is too short, to be limited to expectations.
And to strive toward the sunset, and to my greatest determinations.
The woman that taught me to notice things, like the stars in the sky.
And that she would be looking down from one, if she should ever die.
That woman that taught me how to live, has left us to sit upon that star.
And to twinkle every night above us, to tell us she has not gone far.
This woman that I miss so dear, has left her lessons in my mind.
I can still feel her holding me, close to her heart so kind.
Her loving healing kiss, I could really use today.
To heal the pain in my heart, to take it far away.
So as I sit here in the night, in my pain filled heart remains a scar.
But that woman still manages to take away that pain, as she sits upon her shining star.
