Poem
And so this is what it feels like, As though the sun doesn’t exist, And the moon has lost its shine, the stars have been put out one by one, and here we are, pretending everything is fine. Yet, our world seems gloomy and dreary. Our smiles have faded away. For our beacon of Hope and Light Departed 6 months ago this day Every day we all keep wishing That this is just a bad nightmare. And when we wake up each time We will find that you are still here. Our Inspiration and Pillar of Strength Our Glue, Our Rock and Our Guide. You loved each of us equally, with absolute admiration and pride. You encouraged us to be confident And gave us the raw truth about life. Whenever we needed someone to talk to, You were the best person we all would turn to for advice. Sometimes we get the urge to dial your number on our phones. Just to hear your soothing voice again, just to pretend you're still at home. We miss everything about you Gran, More especially that radiant and naughty smile. It gave us hope and brought us comfort, Amidst a world that's cold n fragile. Your warm hugs and soft touch, Made us feel better whenever we were ill. Your home made remedies and chicken soup. Was better than taking any pills. Those delicious aromas from cooking and baking. Could be smelt from way down the road. You made sure our bellies were full Before we all made our way home. And so we guess God needed his finest Angel back home much sooner than we all expected. And while we painfully agree that you're in a better place, this great loss will never be accepted. © Sasha Maharaj. All Rights Reserved. August 2016
