Grandma

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it." - E. E. Cummings 

My grandma 
is my dearest light 
that shines bright 
in the night 
to tame the pierce of darkness 
so my soul could rest.

But one day 
her smile went away 
for she flew 
faraway 
on a place beyond my sight 
within heaven's height. 

Memories 
of her tender love 
resonates 
in my heart 
like a solemn melody 
that brings best in me.

Sara Kendrick October 8, 2022 at 5:04 AM I enjoyed reading your thoughts once again about your grandmother whom I can tell from this work that you loved and respected. It is so good to read about her from your point of view. Back with congratulations on your work being on the winners' list. Sara Roger Roger October 8, 2022 at 4:34 PM Thank you very much. It did really come true... My grandma was the "closest thing to heaven" for me.

Constance La France October 7, 2022 at 9:28 AM Roger, a very nice Shadorma and congratulations on your win in my Writing Challenge - In My Heart - "S" Forms, I miss my grandma too, Constance Roger Roger October 7, 2022 at 1:44 PM Thank you very much...

Sara Kendrick September 19, 2022 at 6:59 AM Ahh!! I can feel the pain of your loss. Thanks for sharing. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Sara Roger Roger September 19, 2022 at 11:48 AM Thanks a lot. She worked hard to raise me when my parents separated when I was about 5. Life was tough. But she was there. Sadly, she passed away years before I got my college degree.
