Beers

Today I heard some news, which made my heart sing blue. Grandmother’s, most have two, I did too and then I had you. You raised me, with wit few among us have, I swear the things you’ve said still make me laugh. The sass you had would drive them mad, your life crossed mine and I am glad. To sitting on these benches, sipping them slow, one after the other, together we grow. I just wish that I could have let you know, how much you changed my life, how much you’re owed. Although you hurt, you did so in silence, thinking your burden’s too heavy, as this world was too violent. We were right there with you to carry, but your strength still leaves me crying, in awe. You are a friend forever, as those like you are timeless and all. Although you’re gone, you grow with me every day, the way I talk, the way I joke, all of me you swayed. We sip these beers, nice and cold, laughing at the stories you’ve told.
