When Grandma is Gone
The following is a poem about my grandma that I recently wrote. I was getting ready for school and thinking about my grandma and wondering what she would say to me as the anniversary of her death approached. When I arrived at school that morning, I sat down and wrote this. I hope you enjoy it.
When Grandma is Gone
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to remember the laughter and fun.
I want you to remember how my story begun.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to remember the times at the lake.
I want you to remember the cakes that I baked.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to remember the stories I told.
I want you to remember how they never grew old.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to walk on with joy in your heart.
I want you to remember that we never will part.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to trust in God’s perfect plan.
I want you to be a good and loving man.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to remember that love saw me through.
I want you to remember how my laughter chased away the blues.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to know that I am never really gone.
I live in your heart, in your smile, and your song.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
I want you to remember all the good times that we had.
I want you to know that one day I will look in the distance,
I will begin to run as fast as the wind, because I will know it is you in that very instant.
I will welcome you home and shower you with kisses,
And you will never remember all of the great misses.
When Grandma is gone, I don’t want you to be sad.
When I think about my grandma and I remember all the stories she told me and all the lessons I learned from her, my heart is filled with peace and PEACE MATTERS!
