88/16

R.I.P 6-19-99 Poem about my Nana

What's really left of us When we leave this world. A stone with your name Is all that really exists. I came here to talk to you And try to be calm and sit But the emotions that flow I just can't quit. It's your birthday today- You would have been 88. Why is it that I still can't forget that date? It's no longer a time to celebrate & it makes me sad to think about the old days. How great life was when you were around Always bringing peace and a smile to everyone in town. We used to go Farmland and DeMoulas to shop for Sunday dinner, You'd get me anything I wanted because you thought I was a winner. No matter what I'd do wrong you'd always have my back. Telling my mom to back off when you knew she was a mess. Giving us food to bring up the street Even though we were there way less. Your house was always my comfort zone Anything I needed and all the love I'd ever known. You were my home When I lost you I lost everything. But your memories stay strong I know I'm never alone. It took a long time to come to terms with you being gone And it will never be okay but I know I can move on. Keep you with me everywhere I go and if I need you... Ill come here and talk to this stone. <3
