A Poem for Grammy

The days have been quite different

With emotions that I feel.

I know you've left this earth

But somehow it doesn't seem real.

I sit looking at your pictures

Such life in your eyes.

Then the pain just seems to hit me

It takes me by surprise.

The memories flood my mind

Some sharp and some a haze.

Yet they come and go so quickly

During these past few days.

When I lost my tooth at your house

So scared the tooth fairy wouldn't know

And in the morning, with money inside,

a velvet bag underneath my pillow.

You'd let me play your organ

So loud and no real song.

Yet you'd dance around with a smile

And always sing along.

You comforted me and loved me

Always told me you were proud.

I wish I could talk to you

Once again hear your voice out loud.

I know you're in heaven now

A smile lights up your face.

You're dancing on streets of gold

The pain has been erased.
