Grandma.
Dear Grandma, I remember so much
yet so little.
I’m scared, memories are fading away,
I’ve been told to recall your memories for my cousins,
your grandchildren who are way younger than me.
but how can I do that? I’m scared I don’t have enough memory to tell them.
I can remember your singing though.
you’d always sing “raindrops keep falling on my head”!
I remember your singing voice clearly.
I wish I could hear it again,
i want to sing along with you.
after your passing, your daughter, my aunt gave me a book.
it’s a book that reads how much you love me,
it tells me you love me here and there, everywhere,
no matter how big or small I may be.
I want to say I love you too, no matter where you are.
there was so much I wanted you to see, to know.
I just turned eighteen! can you believe it?
I really wanted you to know that.
this year I’ll be graduating too, i wanted you to see me get my diploma.
I wanted you too see a lot of things.
but above all I wanted grandma to know.
I love you grandma,
you told me we’d see each other again, the last day i ever saw you.
i wanted to believe that was true, but it’s not.
I love you grandma.
and i miss your singing voice.
please come back.
Hey grandma?
I know it’s not possible.
but I also wanted you too see me
with dad walking me down the aisle
but that’s not possible anymore.
so grandma, I want you to know again I love you
to pieces.
and i’m just relieved, you are not suffering anymore.
so i’ll try not to cry to much anymore.
