“My Grandmother And Friend”
Today I sat alone and stared out the window
The thought of someone special came to my mind
She was strong and tough
She was kind and caring
She meant a lot to me
I would listen to her stories from back when
Stories of when she was a child
Stories of people she met and friends she made
There were times when she wouldn’t speak at all
We would just sit and stare at the fire in the fireplace
I could see the years in her face
The wisdom in her eyes
The love in her smile
When I held her hand
As she finally let go of life
I was devastated
My heart was broken
My spirit was crushed
I loved my grandmother very much
She was my friend
I think of her often
And I’ll remember her always
Not how she died
But rather how she lived
And she is still here in my heart
Sitting in her rocking chair
Gazing at the fire
Telling her stories
Sharing her memories
And there she will remain forever
