This is a poem that I wrote on March 8th. My grandmother had died, and I wrote about what had happened through this difficult time. The poem takes place after her death.
Today is the day of your funeral,
A day of mourning.
I sang at your funeral and felt a lot of pain.
Agony is taking over.
I pray to God that we will meet again.
I try to live a normal life but all I can think of
is your death.
Your death was a shock, but we all were expecting
a call one day, saying you had died.
We got that call three days ago.
When I answered the phone, I could feel something
was wrong.
It was Papaw.
I have never heard him cry before.
He said we need to come home, because you had passed
away.
When we got there, Papaw asked me if I would sing a
song and I said, "sure".
I sang, "I Will Remember You."
Papaw told me that I did well, like he always says.
We came back home, and I had to sing at church.
All I could think of was you.
As days passed, I got used to your not being here.
The hardest thing was the family getting together
for Christmas.
My Christmas present for the family was a video of
you.
I took old pictures and videos of you and put it
all in one.
Papaw watches it every day.
I may not get to watch the video every day, but you
are always in my dreams.
We all love you and miss you so much.
I Love You Mamaw.

I just wanted to say that it was a very good poem and it made me cry for hours. I lost my grandmother on nov. 19,2005. I know what your going through. Christmas it was really hard and so was thanksgiving. I was really close to her and i hated that she had to go, but I still think about her every day. I would never be able to sing at her funeral with out crying. I'm still crying right now as i write this. Well Bye

I just wanted to let this poet know that this was a really interesting poem and I can feel where you're coming from because I just lost my grandmother a couple of months ago and I'm still in shock and disbelief because I never expected her to die so soon,but when I received that phone call from my mother I knew that it couldn't be true, but when I arrived at the hospital I then had to believe it. So i know what you're going through and I feel your pain. ~*R. I. P Grandma "D"~*

My papaw had just died Augut 10, 2004. He was my leagle gardian with my mamaw and he was my dad for almost all my life. My mom has a metal illness, I don't know what it's called, but me and my two baby sisters can't see her any more. So my aunt is taking care of the little, little sister while my mamaw and papaw took care of me and my other little sister. I really wish he could come back to help us because I have a disease called lupis and it causes me airthritis and gives me the butterfly rash. Now we only have a 3rd of the money we have had before. So that's why I need him physicaly and emotionaly.
