My Beautiful Angel

© Aoife Minnock
Nan to walk into your room and see you smile,
I walked over and hugged you all the time,
you always made me smile and always had stories to tell.
I loved sitting with you everyday and listen to the memories you had to share
You showed us that life cant be all that bad
there is always a light at the end of a tunnel,
You were so strong,
You had faith in us all,
You had great sprit even if the day was dull.
you weren’t just my Nan
you were my best friend
I know you had to go,
now I feel I'm alone
but I know you're close.
when I feel the warmth at night I know its you giving me a good night kiss,
when I feel my chest getting tight I know that’s you giving me a big hug,
when I feel the wind brush through my hair
I know your whispering hello to me ..
when I see the sun shine I know you're happy,
when I see that bright star I know that’s you watching down on us all and smiling
now a beautiful angel watching over us all,
we pray to you each night.
Loosing you Nan broke my heart and every day without a doubt I think of you and shed a little tear, for a Nan I loved so dear.

  • Hi there Aoife...
    I'm so sorry about your Nan...:(
    I lost my Nan yesterday morning. She had been really ill in ICU for the past month. This poem, really really touched me. Its just so crazy, as it was the very first poem that I have looked at tonight and everything you mentioned about your Nan, I have experienced the same memories with mine. She was also my best friend, who I could just talk to for hours. It is a lovely poem..godbless.

  • Hey..Kyla here
    just wanna say how truly sorry I am about your lost. I too lost my grandmother Saturday morning. It was a very sad moment for me too because she was in the ICU for a very long time and that really broke my heart to see her like that. But this poem really made me think of her and really touched my heart......stay strong and god bless you :)

But most of all she was my best friend.... this poem is perfect as to how I feel. I miss her soo much, it is just such a lovely poem.... stay strong

  • Hi Aoife,
    3 weeks ago my grandmother suffered the last stages of cancer. I watched her die in front of me. When I read your poem it brings tears to my eyes. If feel like this poem was made for me. My grandma was like my best friend too! I am soo glad I can relate to you in this situation. My family is very sad about my beautiful grandmother's death. I am sorry for your loss. I know it is soo hard.

  • The last few years me and my grandma were super close and she was just like my bestfriend. That like you said in yours she lighted the way she could always make you smile.. and mine was the sweetest ever. I lost her the week of finals in high school, and ever since its hurt to grieve.. but I can still feel her all around me. Just remember yours is in a better place and is always watching over you.. Gone but never forgotten <3

  • Sadly lost my Grandmother on New Year's day this year. We had her funeral this Monday gone and it is still so difficult...even though I have a beautiful family and great friends the pain remains....

    I just wanted to say hi to all the people who have posted many amazing touching stories on this site.

    I am sure the pain will ease but the memories will always remain...

    My Gran more or less brought me and my sister up as Mum as working double shifts...this has broken my heart and I will cry for a long time...

    Love,
    Marni....
