Hi,

I know I've only just met a few of you, but I would like to share something with you. My mother called me this morning to let me know my Grand-mother passed away. I cried, and now and then I do a little more, but overall I know I'll be ok. I think the worst part of the whole thing is that my family is in Canada and Im in the states and I can't afford to travel there. The last time I saw her was in late september, but I know she received my last letter I wrote to her. She was old and in poor health, so I know she's somewhere better now. I wrote a poem and I would like to share it with you.


~ REMEMBER ~

I've been to a party
Where everyone cried
Tears flowed like a river
Because someone had died
Flowers and beauty filled the room
Yet everyone sat in their own little gloom
No one dared to talk, for what was there to say
Someone they loved had gone very far away

Sitting in my corner, I think of the time
When I stayed with my grandmother
In her teeny tiny appartment
Barely enough room in her teeny tiny kitchen
While we made cookies and laughed and talked
I got flour on the floor, on her and myself

I forgot for a moment, all the sadness and pain
And laughed out loud to everyones distain
So I told them of the times my grandmother and I shared
And soon everyone was telling of times when she cared
I've been to a party
Where nobody cried
Laughter flowed like a river
Because someone had died


Thank you.

*hugs*
 
I'm so sorry about your loss hon, just made worse with the situation that you cannot be with others that loved her as much as you.


:kiss: :rose:
 
Sorry for your loss hun. That's a beautiful poem - thanks for sharing.
 
That's lovely, thank you. I really believe laughter belongs with rememberences. :rose:
 
hold onto the memories of the last time you were together.......I do that with my dad........I was not there when he passed......but hold close those days we spent together a couple of months prior..........

His_kitty, Freya2, guilty pleasure, greybeard...

Thank you


In every heart, there is room
For both happiness and tears
Yet when it counts the most
Both will come out at the same time!

~ that just came to me.. thought id share it too.

I spent sometime outside with my dog this morning (first dog ive ever had,btw) and it was really neat watching him play in the snow (first of the season, first time he's ever seen it). As he was running around and trying to catch the snow balls I was throwing, I realized just how much he meant to me. I think love is just natural.
 
Thank you...

sorry for your grief...but a beautiful poem....I hope you stay in close touch with your mom...she'll need you....when my father passed away, my aunt told me not to worry for a long time about my mom....she told me to tell her something that may help you when you talk with your mom....

Tell her, "You smelled the roses before.....and you will again..."
 
Aw thanks Jeff :)

oh.. it was my dads mother who passed away. both of his parents are gone now.. he was sleeping when i called home so I'm gonna call him tomorrow.




*hugs*

I feel like hugging everyone!! ***HHUUUGGGSSSS***
 
Beautiful poem, EarthWind. A good poem can convey truer emotions than anything else.
