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.
