Poetry: Grandmothers

by Andrew Gemmell

Created on: August 14, 2009

I knew when I saw you yesterday it would be the last time.

When I left it broke my heart to know that would be the last hug.

When I left it broke my heart to know that would be the last kiss.

When I left it broke my heart to know that was the last time.

To know it would be the last time I would see you and Papa together.

To know it would be the last time I would be able to hold your hand.

To know it would be the last time that I got to smile at you.

Now looking back I wish I had come to see you more.

Now looking back I realize just how much you were there for me.

Now looking back I see how I came to be the person I am today.

This morning I found out that you had passed.

This morning I realized just how much you really meant to me.

This morning I realized that you really would be gone forever.
