Dear Grandma, how are you?
It’s been quite a while
We don’t talk that much
It was never your style
There’s not much I miss
I’m sorry to say
I don’t know you that well
Cause you kept it that way
I know you were brave
An adventurous soul
I know you were rough
Always wanting control
I think that you liked us
The term “Love” is too strong
Well, you liked all my siblings
You thought I came out wrong
I cried when mom called me
No emotion was heard
It was rough for a day
The hours were blurred
But I’m alright now
The sadness is gone
It was all far too easy
For me to move on
It’s a little depressing
I can still hear your voice
But there’s no tears to shed
You made your choice
I think Dad is sad
It’s kinda hard to tell
He gets kinds quiet
But he’s not one to dwell
Grandpa’s moved on
It was really quite fast
He’s now remarried
A year hadn’t passed
You did leave a mark
Though it’s mostly online
Your kids need some therapy
They’re not doing fine
So, I hope that your happy
Wherever you are now
Because We certainly are
It all worked out somehow
This is your legacy
I hope that you’re proud
We almost miss you
Our crying’s not loud
Goodbye, Grandma
This talk was quite nice
It felt therapeutic
But I have some advice
There’s much more to life
Than Fortune and Fame
You realized too late
Much to your shame
Please send some love
And some care down below
Your children all miss you
Though they don’t let it show
Don’t be withholding
Don’t raise your tone
If you hurt those around you
You’ll end up alone
Death bed confessions
Are not nearly enough
Too soothe all the pain
Left from being too rough
Show affection sometimes
To the family you’ve got
Lest your work throughout life
Shall all be for naught
I love you, Grandma
Though maybe I shouldn’t
So I’ll hug my dad for you
The way that you wouldn’t
Goodbye, Grandma
Wherever you may be
Everyone’s okay now
They’re finally free
