The one I miss

I wrote this April 21st 2011, in memory of my Grandma. It was originally posted as a note on my Facebook. I just realized it wasn't on my blog and definitely needs to be!

My heart is always laced

With memories of us two

The biggest challenge I'm faced

is always missing you.

 

Days grow easier

as they pass by and by.

Memories grow stronger

as I grieve for you longer.

 

I tell you goodnight

at the site of moonlight.

Even in my dreams too

I will always miss you.

 

I am grateful for

A much happier place

but I can not ignore

always missing your face.

 

I can not ask why

you've been taken from me

but I would fly so high

to bring you back to my reality.

 

The first year is gone

but my sadness lingers on

I long for a hug and kiss

from the one I miss.

 

In loving memory of Patricia (Grandma) Zalewski - April 24th, 2010
