My Ugly Life In A Beautiful Format

IN HONOR OF YOU

(A/N) I wrote this poem on the anniversary of my grandmother's death, my poem titled my meme was the first poem I had ever wrote and I wrote it for her, I wrote a follow up poem to her on May 25th 2013 which was her 15th year anniversary, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it although it made me cry!

15 years ago exactly today 

I lost you 3 days  

after my 7th birthday 

You were my best friend 

My favorite person in the world  

I remember when you would 

Brush my hair with the electric comb 

You would put me on time out 

For no more then 5 minutes at a time 

If I had a nightmare  

I'd climb in Your bed and sleep just fine  

I read you a book the night  

Before you left 

I couldn't read the word snorkel 

So mom read it for me and we just laughed 

I was in second grade 

The year that you died  

I would climb to the stairs to class 

And I heard I'm sorry from everyone I walked past 

You've missed a lot in the time you've been gone 

But I know you see it 

From your beautiful home above 

I try and visit you as much as I can 

But it's hard to skate there  

From where I am 

I often wonder if you've ever been disappointed in me 

And if you have I understand  

I know that I'm not perfect and have made a lot of mistake  

But I have a good heart 

And nothing about it is fake 

I take care of the people I love  

And I'm passionate about what I do 

I carry you everywhere in my heart 

And I know one day we'll never have to part  

And until that day comes  

I'll think of you everyday  

And the fun times we had 

You're still my hero  

And have taught me a lot of what I know 

I remember you teaching me 

How to write my name  

On the dishwasher  

And i remember cutting my hair on the stove  

I remember taking the city bus 

To the tin tin buffet 

I had a huge plate of pineapples that day

I don't know about you 

But I love who I've become 

And I hope that you do too 

Cuz finding myself to this extent was not an easy thing to do 

So I'll live everyday and do the best that I can 

And I know when my time comes 

It just means that it's my time 

To be with you again
