This ode was written soon after "The New Journey" and both, this more then ever, were inspired by my grandma's unfortunate passing via organ failure when I was 12.

A Rose for Anita

It's been three long years
since I've last seen your face
your laughter is gone
like handprints in the sand

But I still remember
the days we have spent
shopping and talking
like two old friends

The time I last saw you
was on the day of thanks
but all I could think about
was how you were doing

Later that night
I saw your skelatal form
just like seeing a ghost
instead of my grandmother

My mind was racing
after seeing your face
usually strong with pride
but then consumed with fear

But your memory is not
of the weakness outside
but of the strong willed woman
inside of your heart
