You left this world
In such pain
It hurts me to think
Of how you went

Did you go peacefully?
Or was it filled with pain?
Did the light bring sweet release?
Or just more pain and suffering?

I miss you,
Though we weren’t that close
It still hurt to see you
Lying there
Still as stone
Expression blank
In a box
Covered in flowers

Grandma, I want you to know
That many people cried for you
I was among them
My little brother and I
Do you remember us?
I hope you do

Grandpa’s not doing well
His mind’s slipping off the tracks
Though he tries to hide it
He can’t bear the pain
Of a life without you

I hope that you find peace
Wherever you are now
And that you’re no longer
Riddled with pain
Tell me that you’re doing fine
And that you’ll watch over us all

Please tell me you’ll meet me
At the entrance to Summerland
Then we can sit in the grass
And talk and laugh as the wind plays
With our clothes, with our hair
And the sun warms our very hearts

I want you to know
That we miss you
Here on Earth
We love you, Grandma
We always have and always will
Especially me, Grandma
Especially me…
Dedicated to my Grandma Doris Chaney. She was taken from this world by cancer earlier in August of 2007. It was a hard time for the whole family. I never really did get to say goodbye to her, so this is my final goodbye. I love you Grandma, and I miss you a lot!
