MISSING GRANDMA

Folder: 
To the memory of Grandma Zina

Sadness lurks within me,

as I relive her last hours.

From pain, she is now free,

yet, my soul, grief showers.



I relive her last hours,

and I recall the pain she endured,

and, my soul, grief showers.

I know that she hurt.



I recall the pain she endured,

and I am comforted because

I know that she no longer hurts.

But I miss the person she was.



I am comforted because

I know she is now in Heaven,

but I miss the person she was

here, on earth.  I'm crying again.



I know she is now in Heaven,

From pain, she is now free.

But, here, on earth, I'm crying again.

Yes, sadness lurks within me.

i really love this poem because it expresses exactly how i felt when my most beloved grandfather died in 1977. to this day i miss him as if he just now passed away. i don't forsee the pain lessening in the least. he was the one person in my life who truly loved me for me and he showed me GOD. he taught me about Jesus and the bible and showed me it was okay not to be perfect. i will love him forever and will never forget him. and i do love so many of your poems so if anyone says they are no good, well, the heck with what they think. great work.
