My grandmother is long since gone
With her, all of life's lessons
I've tried so hard
Over the years
To make it all for something
She sacrificed and made mistakes
She took a helping hand
Some strength through love she did afford
The rest she simply followed
For all these years
I've always sworn
To write a simple novel
Of love and things we've left behind
Her history
Her passion
Without the glue she used on us
Her absence still a void
I've tried so hard
Perhaps one day
I'll put the work on paper
Beyond her now
There's little left
Except two shiny stars
So much unknown
So much unseen
So scared to live tomorrow
