**This poem is in memory of my grandmother who died April 12th 2006**

I miss talking to you, I wish you were here

I believe you know that day you left,

I cried many tears

I just wanted you to know that I love you

I still do, always have

I'll never forget anything, all the things in the past,

you were the best cook, my opinion in my mind

we always laughed, we always smiled, there all the time

you said you wanted me to go to college

so thats exactly what I'll do

of course I'll do it for me, but I'll also do it for you

I remember the tree in your backyard

we'd play hide and seek, you'd say "there you are!"

you'd always tell a story before I went to bed

and everything you'd say, still remains in my head

when I was really little, I'd help you put the would in the fireplace

and I would say " There's another one."

and you'd just have a smile on your face

you'd tell me stories, about when my dad was little,

the things he used to do

but all I remember is spending most of my time with you

its still so hard for me to move on

because I still can't believe, that you're really gone

you'll never come back, I'll never sit on your lap

I'll never hear your voice again

Its really hard for me

because I still can't believe

that you're really gone
