A night to remember

by amira   Apr 11, 2005


In my parents came,talked to my sisters..
their voices soft like a whisper
Something wasn't right i could tell right away
For wen my sisters came back in, they had a look of dismay
They assured me that everything was ok and for me and isha to go and play
But then they went in their room to talk some more, in their they would stay
Out they came not looking to well, a look upon their face
they refused to tell us what happened so i jumped off their case
All night i twist and turned for i couldn't sleep the whole night
Trying to think what could this be..I was put in a state of fright
Then the next morning my dad called us down with a voice so low
He came in the room sat us down and something was wrong, this i did know
he was speaking in a whisper his words soft,he soon began to cry
Then what he said next i will never forget..i wanted to run and hide
Your Grandma died from a heart attack those were the words i dread
i started to cry, couldn't hold back the tears i wanted to go ly in my bed
Tears flowing down my face like in a river or stream
I wanted to go outside so everyone would hear me scream
Hearing those words.was something i never wanted to hear
I never knew pain could feel this way..this is the true meaning of fear
What will i do,..i could never see her again
i confided in her she was also my friend
So i say this prayer for you grandma:
As i lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if i die before i wake
i pray the lord my soul to take...

god please take care of her as she loved my sister and me
please Love her, look after her..give her wings so she will fly gracefully......
