My oma

Getting a call
First thing in the
Morning
To say your Oma
Passed away
I can't tell you
How people dread
Those phone calls
Soon as I heard
The news
My heart
Was broken
My tears
Drenched my
Face
I was shattered,
Heartbroken,
Lost for words
No one expects
Loved ones to
Die
Yes we know
It happens
But the timing
Is never
Promised
We all knew
It was
Coming but
Not this soon
I have fond
Memories of
Her talking
About her homeland
Germany
Telling stories
Of her
When she was
Growing up
The love she
Had for all
Of her grand children
And even
Her great grand kids
I'm thankful
For every milestone
She was their
For me
She was also
Their for my kids
I know not all of her
Great grand kids
Will have her around
So I'm thankful
She watched then
Grow and develop
Created memories
That will last a
Lifetime
She will forever
Be missed and
Loved
I will always
Treasure our
Memories
As will
Everyone who you
Have touched
With your smile
And stories
Rest easy
Give Opa a big
Hug and kiss
For me
I love you
Oma
