Grandma, I’m sorry, I couldn’t spend more time with you before you had to go
You were always there for me
You helped me figure out who I want to be
Grandma, you’re trying to tell me something I know.
Doctor comes in, says you have more time so to a new hospital room you will move
It is no ones fault this is happening, I know it is just the cancer
But it’s too late now, we don’t have answer
You fall asleep, I’m left thinking of the person you made me, that of which you wouldn’t disapprove.
Kid, I know that was hard
Later on you will be thanking yourself you talked to her
I’m crying so hard, nothings working, not even my vocal cord
Look around, this is everyone she worked so hard for
You have to go too, doctor doesn’t want anymore people in the room, it’s hard to let down my guard
I wish she had more time, that, I think, everyone would prefer
Inspired by “On a Night of Snow” by Elizabeth Coatsworth
good rhyme scheme
I really enjoyed the poem. You were so vulnerable in the poem, and the emotion definitely came across. It’s easy to relate this to my own life. It was very moving, thank you for sharing.
I really appreciated this piece. This was very personal for me because I lost my grandpa to cancer a little over a month ago. You perfectly described how I felt and still do.
This was very sad and emotional. I can kind of relate in the same way with how my grandad died from cancer. This is a very good piece of poetry and it was really enjoyable to read.
This is sad. It brought tears into my eyeballs. Thank you for this moving piece. – Autumn
