This poem was written about my grandmother. I decided to work with my sister Ariane who was the last person with her before she passed away and had her read the poem at the funeral, Ariane almost couldn’t finish it because it was so powerful. It was a sad day and it left me in quite a bit of pain, but inspired me to write "Depression Stays In Tears" "One Last Time" and my short stories "She Says" and "She Says II: A Visit From Grandma". You have to understand that our grandma was almost like another mom.
Think of You
I like to watch the sunshine
I feel it touch my skin and fill my soul
it closes my pain and sadness
to a perfect whole
I feel the sun rise and watch it set
I love you grandma and I’ll tell you why
as I think of you
we all start to sing for you
as we dream of you
we all had to see you
suddenly you start to cry
forever, this love will always
be there for you
we spent our years living in joy
picking black berries
and reading us a story
kicking a ball and playing with a toy
our secret desire
you would teach us to look
you would tell us to say sorry
I like to hear you laugh
when I’m on the path
its like the passage
of water trickling down
in a stream
it clashes with the rocks and evaporates to the sun in a steam
you made an impression
on us and our life that we must say
we are proud to be your grandchildren
like the power of the sun
shining every day
we’re flying in a dream
where I find myself at ease
I am mowing your lawn
some days are dry, but today is wet
I feel the cold wind hit me
and I realize it’s dawn
I finish the job and come
to hear the stories
while we think of you
day by day
one by one
I wish you never left us
