You took me in, though your plate was full
You taught me about love, though I was a fool
An innocent child with a longing for love
So glorious to me was your love from above
You showed me that love was not just words or empty promises
It was all encompassing and full of sacrifices
Your love gave me that sense of belonging
It was a blessing to realize that in me you were sowing.
It's been 29 years since the Lord saw fit to take you away.
I was only 14 on that calamitous day.
I wasn't ready for you to leave me.
I needed you so, please do believe me.
Though I'm glad that you're in Our Father's hands
I must admit that I miss you to great expanse.
You would love my daughter, Alicia, no doubt
It saddens me that your love she should live without.
But I'll try my best to make her feel loved and special, Like you did for me
I miss and love you still.
'Til we meet again in heaven,
my Grandma, my Mami.
