Grandmas Wishes
I do not want a bunch of crying or sadness Grandma said.
Release a bunch of balloons and sing upbeat songs when I am dead.
We grandchildren all heard her say it a million times.
She sang it and wrote poetry about it and put it in rhymes.
I do not want a headstone, they are creepy she told us.
You can remember me other ways, but don’t make a fuss.
Play Puff the Magic Dragon. Don’t become grouchy grief buffoons.
So today we said good bye to grandma, releasing her balloons.
