Grandma

You are gone
and I'm finding it hard to breath
my heart is shattered, broken
and my soul grieves

your are the one
who loved me for me
you believed in who I was
and all that I could be

never judging me
although I made a lot of mistakes
there lending a shoulders
seeing me through my heartaches

you tried to teach me
wrong from right
stayed up waiting for me
when I came home at night

always forgiving
my selfish ways
saying it will be okay
even when I strayed

I never meant of hurt you
although I know I did
you cried, and I was unknowing
how much pain you hid

did you know you are my heart
and it doesn't beat the same
without you
than when you left me
apart of me went to

never will understand
why you had to go
I would have traded my life for yours
but God wouldn't let me go

I still cry each and every night
the emptiness doesn't cease
I hope that you've found happiness
and your soul is in peace

I long to see you again
somehow, someplace
I just want to feel your heartbeat
and kiss your precious face

you'll always be my heat and soul
your love will always shine through
you are such an integral part of me
no one can ever replace you
