My Grandmother by Loni M. Jerminski

Grandmom...I still can't believe that you are gone.
I can't believe it's been this long.
You disappeared out of nowhere,
Now everyone desperately wants you back here.
I hope that when I die, I am with you,
so we can talk and tell about everything we've been through.
When you left, everyone cried.
We couldn't believe that you had died.
Mom took it the worst when she saw
She wishes to God that you hadn't died at all.
Everyone else was so hurt,
it was like all of our faces were pushed into the dirt.
Everyday I think about you,
I know you are watching over me too.
When we saw you smile, it brightened our day...
I just wish you were still here so with us you could stay.
