It has been a year
Without you in our lives
So much is happening now
More than it ever has
Big changes for everyone of us
Since your passing left me dysfunctional
In spirit as you watch over
I still miss you of course
We will always remember you
Deep within our hearts
Not a day goes by
Where I don't think of such a wonderful soul
At times I look at my phone
About to dial your number
To give some good news
Wonder what you are up to
Only to remember your not there anymore
Since as early I can recall
You have been the best role model
Going through much yourself
Yet still able to oppress weakness
Difficulties of living
While reminding us of what the right way of life is
Grandmother you were the only grandparent of mine
Grateful to have been born with you present
Because as much as the world howls at me
I'll hold in the single fact that
We had you in our lives
So I go through life
With strong goals of success
Since you were the one who helped me reach
Such a compromise with myself
Only I regret not to have had
Enough wits to converse with such a wise person
The other fact of the matter
You were like a matriarch to me
Not that others may have noticed
But deep down inside aside from the actions
You always knew how to lead and what to say
I will continue to spread your will
The reason I could not finish this write
The ideas behind why I could never put it right
I could not finish this write for you
Because I had to find who I truly am to you
