Grandma r.i.p

by Priscilla   Mar 23, 2005


You was my grandma,
but yet like my best friend.
I was with you most of the time
Until it came to an end.

You went to the hospital,
to get surgery on your heart,
That was the beginning ,
of when my life fell apart.

My mom and sister went to see you
but I stayed home instead,
I never thought at once,
this could be something I'd dread

The doctors said you were fine,
they said you were OK,
so I stayed at home,
so i could play.

The next morning the phone rung,
then my mom started to cry,
I didn't know what to say,
but then i asked her why?

"Why are you crying mommy?
Why are you sad?"
Then she said"every things OK,
stay here with your dad."

She left in a hurry,
not telling me whats wrong.
She hadn't been gone a while,
it hadn't been long.

She came back and got me,
then told me where she went
Then she explained to me,
about what death meant.

But I already knew,
so i kept butting in what she was saying,
Then it got quiet,
but I'm pretty sure i heard her praying.

We got to the hospital,
and I felt so blue,
Especially when my grandma said
"I love you!"

I heard my family talking,
they said she might die.
I went to the bathroom
then started to cry.

So that day we got,
that stupid call,
was the day my life,
started to fall.
