Times like these... - 28th April 2006


Grandma.

Grandma take me home,

I want you here.

I’ve got to stop the crying,

So that your voice I can hear.

 

Grandma take me home,

I’ve done things wrong.

I want to embrace with you,

Sit where I belong.

 

Said I’ve got to stop the crying,

To wake up again in your arms.

Why can’t we choose turns?

Inside it brightly burns.

 

If I could choose to die,

I’d walk with you by your side.

 

Grandma take me home,

But not here –

It’s hard to find you gone.

 

I realise you’re not coming back,

So I’ll leave you these words;

Hoping you’d write back.

 

*(Wrote when I broke down today, about my Grandma)

Granparents can be the calm in the storm. Your lose is great. You expressed your grief and longing for your grandmother honestly. Her love surrounds you and she is part of you. Kathy
