Grandma

You were there when in need
My mind and feelings you could always read
You were there when I was sad
Even when in my mother’s eyes I was bad. 
You told me you loved me
That the real me you could see
We went endless nights just laughing and talking
You were one person that never went out of my life walking.
We would watch TV for hours on end.
And some advice and a helping hand you would lend.
Our one on one conversations are now just memories
Now it feels like you have been gone for centuries
The pictures and laughs are what I have left
Growing up you were always the best
Now all those times I know I did cherish
And now you are perished
Never forgotten will you be
When it’s my time to go you’ll be the first I come to see
