    I had a dream last night
    It startled me awake
    For a moment, she returned
    But, it was all fake


    My heart did a flip
    Nana called out my name
    It seemed so real
    Not another mind game


    Why did she leave me?
    Where did she go?
    She went to a better place
    Or, so I’ve been told


    I miss her laugh
    And her kind ways
    She was like a bright light
    Such beautiful, strong rays


    My dad misses her, too
    His mother whom he loved
    He is angry, and sad
    Feels a bit drugged


    It didn’t just happen
    A few years have passed
    But, when someone dies
    You learn nothing lasts


    So, the days that we have
    Are numbered at best
    Spend them wisely
    Because you could be next


    Life makes a raw deal
    Pull up a chair, listen up!
    Love one another
    And never let up


    For without love
    There is no life at all
    Just a mere existence
    Weak and small


    But, love changes everything
    It may hurt, it may cost
    The sacrifice is worth it
    Even if it’s lost


    Nana, I love you
    You weren’t here long enough
    But, know that you are missed
    And, it’s been quite tough


    No one will ever be like you
    You once said the same
    To me, over coffee
    After a trivia game


    You had a way with words
    Made everyone feel at ease
    Your presence and beauty
    Felt like a gentle breeze


    If there is a heaven
    I will see you again
    I won’t have to dream
    It will be real, with no end.
