Grandmother’s Love

 

Grandmother’s Love

AN ORIGINAL POEM


When you come calling,

I want you to see,

Who I'm trying to be.

Heartache doesn’t last forever,

I’ll say I’m fine.

 

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because nothing compares to a grandmother’s love.

 

I’ll close my door.

Don’t wanna be reminded,

 Don’t wanna be seen.

Don’t wanna be without you.

So, I'll just cry.

 

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because nothing compares to a grandmother’s love.

 

Now that you’re gone.

I just hope your memory’s proud of me.

I might cry myself to sleep.

And imagine that you’re here with me.

 

Sometimes I wish you could be here.

To give me that special love.

I try to scream out my lungs,

but the tears stream down my face.

 

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because father’s love is something I don’t know.

 

 If I’m louder,

Could you hear me?

Could I lay down in your arms as you rescue me?

We are the same.

You save me.

But when you leave it’s gone again.

 

Though I try to get you out of my head.

The truth is I got lost without you.

I know I have mom…

But both of you keep me strong.

 

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because nothing compares to a grandmother’s love.
