To my Grandma
October 11, 2018
If I could have a wish come true,
A dream that’d come to pass,
I’d ask to spend a day with you,
And pray that it would last,
I’d run to you and hold you close,
We’d laugh and smile again,
I’d listen so intently,
As you told me how you’ve been.
When time was up I’d hold you close
Not wanting to let go
You’d smile and tell me, ‘see you soon’
And somehow I would know
That your time has come to let go
While it’s very hard to wait,
One day the time will come,
When heaven has called my name,
I’ll join you there forevermore,
When I too am brought Home
My wish may go ungranted
But it always will be true…
I’d trade any of my tomorrows
For one yesterday with you

I really loved that last line, and made me remember my grandmother as well. Thank you so much

This is beyond amazing. My closest person has always been my Grandma who understood me better then anyone, all of her grandchildren love her and she loves them back of course, but I know we have a special bond. I dread the day that maybe I wouldn't be able to go to my grandma with tears in my eyes so that she could hug an comfort me, remind me that she understands and sees my pain, I don't wanna think about it. I am so sorry for you'r loss. I know, your grandma is always with you, in you'r heart.

I just read this poem when I lost my aunt and I started bawling. This is so beautiful. Officially my favorite poem ever.

This is such a good poem it shows how much love that this person had for their grandmother. It is so sad that her grandmother died and she passed away. But it was a well-written poem overall.

I have really special bond with my nani(grandmother) but there are times when I fear
Fear being alone
Fear her absence
Fear the future
I want the time to stop
She lets my tears drop
And then my life is cropped
To magnify the beautiful being in it. Her. The angel she is.
She kisses my the unevaporated moisture that once were a river
With her chapped lips as they quiver.
I love her.
She is the meaning of love. I hope we never grow old
Fear being alone
Fear her absence
Fear the future
I want the time to stop
She lets my tears drop
And then my life is cropped
To magnify the beautiful being in it. Her. The angel she is.
She kisses my the unevaporated moisture that once were a river
With her chapped lips as they quiver.
I love her.
She is the meaning of love. I hope we never grow old
This was so well-written and touching. I really felt the emotion behind each word. I lost both my grandparents a few years ago. I was just thinking about them yesterday. It is hard. They might not physically be with us, but they live in our memories and in our hearts. Wherever your grandma is, she is proud of you and she would be so happy to know that she has a grandchild who loves her.
