In Memory Poem

Pain Of Remembering Special Times Together

The poem was written about my Grandma, Flossie McMillan, who passed away on November 2, 2007. I have lost people in my life before, but this death hit me really hard. There are lots of days a memory brings about depression and tears. I miss her more than words can explain.

Almost A Year

Published by Family Friend Poems September 2016 with permission of the Author.

The familiar sting of tears in my eyes
And the ripping pain in my heart.

It's been almost a year since the dreaded day
That my whole entire world was ripped apart.

I didn't know the depth of my love

The pain I feel is still as intense
As the very day I had to let you go.

So many thoughts and memories creep
Through my aching mind.

The answer to heal my grieving
I fear I will never find.

Grandma, please don't be sad when you
Look down upon me from heaven above,

For the tears you see are from all
The memories of you I love.
