I Long To...

This is for my grandma

I long to see you again,

To touch your face

And to run my fingers 

Through your hair

I long to hear you speak

And for you to give me

Sage advice,

I long to see your smile again

Because the last time I saw you

There was no smile upon your face

I long to see you pain free

Because I hated seeing you in pain

But now you don't have to worry

About the stress of the world...

I long to hug you again

And to never let go

I long to feel your presence

That will stay with me forever

Author's Note

This is for my grandma, she died 5 years ago. Her birthday was July 1 but it was to painful to write about so that's why I strayed away for a while. I hope you like it.

I love this poem, an amazing tribute to your late grandmother. It was genuine, without being cheesy. Putting your own personal thoughts and feelings and not generic phrases. I enjoyed reading this, and I could see it was painful to write. Another great piece.

it's beautiful. I miss my grandma too :)

The text that enables the capability to glimpse into the personal is what adds the subtle soul and heart to a piece. This poem bleeds both of those. Quite the fulfilling read; the only thing I am able to imagine at the moment is your grandmother's smile.

It is essential in life to remember the ones we love. We lose people we love and for a while it is a heart wrenching reality. But your grandma would love this poem.

This is a lovely poem. It reminds me of the times where only
my Grandmother's advice would do..but she wasnt there anymore.
Thank God for all of the wonderful memories and lessons learned.

it's sad to loose someone you love. but i know that your grandmother in heaven is seeing this and is proud of you. the feeling of loss is powerful but know know that your grandmother is now an angel watching over you
