Lost In Your Words

Lost In Your Words

When I was gone for a day,

You could already play,

When I was gone for a month,

You could eat a few crumbs.

When I was gone for a year,

You felt your mother's love clear,

But you didn't know me,

But will always be your wisdom tree.

When I was gone for ten years,

You felt me near,

You started writing stories & poems,

That was very wholesome.

I am Lost In Your Words,

I know it hurts,

But you'll be sucessful, poems are your art,

Don't worry, I will always be in your heart.

Author's Note

This poem is for my Maternal Grandmother, who I call Nani. She died just 7 months after I was born. This poem is about her missing me from heaven and I can only hear her by my words.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Beren. I miss her and sure she misses me.

I never even got a glimsipe of her, yet she is a picture in my heart. Everytime I enter my Maternal grandpa's house, I look up at her picture and pray.

Glad you liked my poem, keep writing and reading!
