For my Grandma Martha

A poem written for my Grandma Martha I lost her to cancer when I was 5. It is narrated from her point of view.

As all the thoughts fade form my head

And not a word from my lips is said

Please don't weep or cry....

For I will tell you why

Though it may be hard to believe

And you may feel like life has decieved

You in every imaginable way

I have something to say!
I have a way for you to cope

And no longer wallow or mope

So here is my secrete way

That you can remember me everyday

Think of peanut candy and cupcakes

Though my body you cannot wake

Starlight mints by the pound

Your thoughts of me should turn round'

It will be like the days I played on my knees

I will be with you like the summer's cool breeze

Don't grieve or weep....

I am in a peaceful sleep

Just remember my big yellow bed

That you jumed on despite what I said

If these things don't ease your mind

And you can't seem to put me behind

In a happy state of being dear

Take this advice from my many years

You are a child with great faith in your Lord

Though the devil may try to hord

His ugly thoughts in your face

Please these words I say don't erase

When your mission in life is complete and found

And you are heaven bound

I will be waiting there

With lots of love to spare

Two souls to reunite

All sad feelingd take flight

But until this happy day

Please remember the way

I told you to think of me

This fate will soon be

So very true

For now I love in the memories of you

Turn your tears to a smile

In knowing both now and in a while

You have my memories my soul my love

Along with a life with me above
