A Poem I gave to my grandmother 1 month before she passed away from ovarian cancer.


Grandmother


I hear you crying
in the depths
of this silent night
the stars whispered
that your sweet self
is hurting so much inside

I want to lay down
next to you
wash your tears away
and take your hand
hold so tight
drown forgiven pain

I want to brush
your soft hair
so alike to mine
and sing to you
sweet melodies
that put your eyes to sleep

I want to tell you
that I LOVE YOU
and how much I love you
loving me
kiss your forehead
squeeze your hand
and give you to your dreams

This is very lovingly written.  I'm sure your grandmother treasured this gift from you.  My best to you and you have my condolences.

Mable Sue, a lovely gift you gave her...I am sure it gave her an inner peace she was unable to describe...
