It's still hard to believe that you're actually gone

It's suddenly hit me after so many years gone

I remember the times you used to boss me around

I remember all the times I would be so annoyed

but man I miss you more and more each day



I never realized of the saying

You don't know what you've got until it's gone

now I finally realize the saying, it's sure hitting home

You should never have passed on

Something could have been done

now I wonder everyday

Are you up in heaven for eternity with God?



Will I see you again

Will this lonely feeling end

I've just been missing you lately

and I just wish that we could have been best friends

Because you loved this whole family

even when we all thought you didn't

But now that you're gone

Reality is finally hitting home

where once it never did



I miss you because you were always there

When I needed to talk

even when it seemed like in my own mind

that you just didn't care

but now that you're gone

I just wish you could be here

I really missed the times that we shared

You always went out of your way to show you cared

Even when in our troubled minds

thought you never cared



Now I wonder are you up there with him?

Are you up in his arms?

Are you no longer in pain?

The cancer never should have taken you away

Because it was just a cure

we were only one step away

from trying to save you

from what should have been

You should have been alive today

But you're no longer with us

I wonder as each day fades away

Wondering as my life slowly ticks

Wondering if you're standing there with Jesus



I really miss spending christmas with you

I really miss the times being with you

I really miss everything that we did

I really miss being one big happy family

I know every family has it's quarrels

but why did you have to leave so quickly?

Nothing is perfect in this life

but you made it somewhat better

when you were always there for me

But you are no longer here

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About my Grandma Lorraine who passed away years ago. She never should have died, it was a cureable cancer that was easy to take care of, but it was too late and well sad to say, my grandpa never took her to the hospital even when it was getting bad. She died the very next morning in the hospital and the doctor's were baffled, and said it never should have happened. But ya this is about how I miss her now, and it's just starting to hit home because she was always there. If I needed somewhere to go she was there. If I needed something she was there. So ya here is the poem!
