About the Poem

I wrote this during the days I was home from school, after my grandfather's passing. I could only hope to cope with the pain by expressing it in words, but words that expressed it for me.

People have read this poem and not understood that it came from the heart of a teenager struggling with the first close death in her family. Well, that's me.

She Was Just A Teen

by Jessica Twyman

She was just a teen and he was over the hill.
The little lady didn't know why her grandpa had to go,
But she had a mysterious dream - he came down from the sky.
He said to her, Baby I'm all right, don't worry and don't you cry.
Then he gave her a hug and drove back to the kingdom above.

I undersatnd your poem you wrote about your grandpa. I had that same kind of dream when my grandpa died. I was only 14 years old, and he was the first person who died in my family thaat I knew. He died 4-21-04, he was in the hosiptal for 2 months, and he died in his sleep. But the poem you wrote made me thing about my grandpa. I really loved you poem, "she was just a teen".
