Grandma Poem by Reihaneh Jalalian

Grandma

Rating: 5.0


You went
You left me alone
I asked you to turn back
You waved

I used to cry whenever I remembered your smile
But I feel you now
I see you everyday
Only when I close my eyes

I hear your voice every night
Singing lullaby for me to sleep
And when I open my eyes to see you
Gloom is deep and I'm blind

I still feel your hands on my shoulder
Telling me don't worry that'll pass

Where are you?
Are looking at me now?

Dear grandma
All I want to tell you is that
I really miss you

I missed my grandma too but she was fierced and strict during her life.We went through a very stringent routines and we grew up became a bunch of diciplinarians.Nice piece Reihaneh!

A great tribute to not only one but all the grandmothers who are not here with us anymore. Every departing loved one reminds us that we shall take care of those not yet departed. Lets tell them how much we love them before we think about how much we miss them.10+
