Sleep Now, Nana
Although I cannot see you,
I feel your presence near.
I will hold you close in memory
Till I drop my very last tear.
Grandmothers are famous for their hearty meals and fresh baked cookies, their abundant hugs and kisses, and their insistent desire to spoil their grandchildren. Times spent at grandma's house are often marked by love, laughter, and contentment. In fact, grandmothers are often responsible for bringing the whole family together. Because grandmothers are such a source of joy for their grandchildren, they are always sorely missed when they pass away. To lose a grandmother is to lose a most valuable family member. Many grandchildren find a peace and solace after the loss of their grandmother by expressing their feelings through poetry.
Although I cannot see you,
I feel your presence near.
I will hold you close in memory
Till I drop my very last tear.

In my rose garden of memories,
I see you standing there,
An angel in disguise,
Who taught me how to care.

The years will always roll on by
and time will always pass,
but every memory I have of you
will definitely always last.

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.

From my beginning until your end,
You were by my side, my first best friend.
I never expressed it when you were here
Though my love and admiration were sincere.
She wasn't like the other grans,
Spoiling kids with sweets,
The minute you stepped out of line,
That slipper's off her feet!
A beautiful angel is all that is here
Saying O'Lord please leave me here
Not ready to leave but has to go
Wants to go back but God says no...
My grandma passed away after I gave birth to my daughter. I don't know why God took her away. I am so sad. I cry every day! I miss her so much.

I'll go another day.
