Grandmother Death Poems - Page 2

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 every day and listening to the memories you had to share.
You showed us that life can't 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 spirit, 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 it's 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 you're 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 us all and smiling.
Now a beautiful angel watching over us all,
we pray to you each night.
Losing 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.

It's only been a few minutes but seems like an eternity to me. 
I miss my Grandma Flossie already, and I wish she had stayed here with me.

It's only been a few hours, but a million tears I have shed. 
I long to hear her voice say my name and hold my hand as she always had.

It's only been a few days, but my heart aches so bad. 
I know she would say, "Please don't be so sad."

It's only been a few weeks, but I still sit and wonder
if she knew I was there and how much I really cared.

It's only been a few months, but I still wonder why? 
Why Grandma didn't you wait for me to say I love you and goodbye?

It's only been a few years, but I still smile and sometimes cry
when I think about the 36 years Grandma McMillan and I shared.

You picked me up
And held me tight.
And said you loved me
Every night.

A year has passed,
But I still feel the same.
I don't think I've ever
Felt so much pain.

I know you're looking over me,
Flying way up above the clouds,
But what I miss the most
Are all of the sounds.

I want to hear your voice,
Not just in a dream, but for real,
To tell me that you're happy,
And I can tell you how I feel.

I'll try to move on, but I know
It's not gonna happen, but I will try.
What hurts the most
Is I never got to say goodbye...

I sat there and watched her, helplessly fighting for every breath.
The doctor said she would die today, so all of the family left.
My grandfather cried and said I cannot leave your side.
Although I do not want to see you go, I have to stay to say goodbye.
My love for you has grown into a treasure you can not buy.
All of the years I have watched you live, now today I watch you die.
Please don't leave me, baby. I don't want to be alone.
I am scared. I have to see you; you make our house a home.
He sat there and watched her as she took her final breath.
Then he folded her arms, crying and kissed her sweet little head.

On the stormy gray day you went away.
Crystal clear pure tears were shed from my face.
How will I survive without you today?
I stand here longing for your own embrace.
The things I shouldn't have left unspoken,
All the memories I can't remember
Leave me with my heart bleeding wide open.
To see your pale eyes again glow amber
Would fulfill my most genuine of wills.
To you I said I would not bid adieu.
I've made you a promise that remains still,
When spoken it was true I hope you knew.
I'll remember you even if it causes pain.
My love for you will forever remain.
