For My Granny
As I look through my address book, I come across your name & look,
Realizing I can't talk or write you, You have been lifted to God's place too.
On my Computer I see your name, but from now on it wont be the same.
You wont pop up on my screen to chat, give me the words of your knowledge, if that.
We had our days of ups & downs, some even ended with quite big frowns,
Most times you could call me on anything, whether bull crap or you just wanted to ring.
We could talk for hours about nothing at all, Happy to just hear our voices strong with a call,
I loved you to the extent of no return, Who will I rely on now to guide me, to learn.
You taught me several ways of life, you and i will always have the 'parrot poop' knife.
Only you and I could joke about that now, really, who will understand that story & how?
We had so many great memories together, none I can express to anyone right now either.
You guided me through so many things, you were the one who gave me, my wings.
You always told me that I was here, for a special reason and had to stay near.
That I was meant for something great, I don't believe I have achieved that fate.
You always believed in me from the start, knew me, every single minded thought.
You were able to read my mind through and through, now without you, what can I do?
I feel as if I am being selfish, how will I get over how much you will miss?
You prayed for a grandbaby from us, the last of yoru granddaughters on that bus.
I don't think that I would have been so prepared, to show how much you meant out loud and cared.
I kept my feelings barried down deep below, so no one could see them, so no one would know.
Showing all I felt for and cared for you, shows the world my weakness and how I'm blue.
I know someday we'll be together again, but how should I feel or act till then?
You were a major part of my life, when I had a problem you cut it with a knife.
You taught me to be strong, to not take any crap and not be wrong.
The more and more I think of you, the more memories flood too.
I remember playing Domino's till all hours of the night without thought, snacking on things and trying not to get caught.
We would stay up late to do so much, we'd listen to music; rock of course.
Watch the T.V. on your British channel of source, we'd watch movies, have popcorn and laugh ourselves to sleep.
We laughed and cried together, shared wonderful moments never to be forgotten,
The hardest of all those moments, the day I had to walk away and we said our final good-byes.
I'll never forget what you said or how you said it, I knew when I walked out those doors I wouldn't get another chance,
So please live on in my heart, mind and daily life, for you were my rock, my heart and my inner self.
You were my Granny...my Best Friend...for all times, to never end.
