Miriam's Poems 🫶🏼

After our grandfather passed our grandmother took his throne,

She always made sure that we were all together and not alone.

That beautiful women deserved nothing but love and respect,

In all of us she has such a positive effect.

She was a mother to us all,

She always picked us up when we would fall.

She always kept our grandfathers name alive,

She never hesitated to help us or give us any form of advice.

Hearing her laugh was like listening to angel’s sing,

You have no idea how much joy that would bring.

The moment she passed it was the most heartbreaking thing,

But what mattered was that she was now at peace and resting with our king.

Nothing felt right,

I cried for her day and night.

Everything fell apart,

Having her gone brought so much pain to my heart.

I was so lost,

How am I ever going to deal with this pain ? I thought.

It took me a while to accept that she was gone,

I was scared to let go, so I held on.

Towards her I feel nothing but love,

I know that she is looking out for me from up above.

She always told me that she wanted me to study and to stay in school,

“For you not to succeed and be someone in life there’s no excuse.”

She will forever be missed,

To describe the greatest things about her we would need a whole long list.

Grandma for now on there will be a missing piece in our family, and that missing piece is you,

Great and loving people like you there is only a few.

I love you grandma,

I can’t wait to be reunited with you and my grandpa.
