Today I Lost My Meme

Today I lost my MeMe 

It hurts my heart to even say

My Meme was so important to me 
and my little brother

She took care of us whenever 
we were not with my mother

See Meme lived with me since I was born

She has seen me grow and become this strong



Meme got sick and went to the doctors

the drs tried their best

He said maybe it was time for Meme to rest

I didn't know what that meant but meme understood

Heaven was calling her Because she wasn't feeling good

She loved my jokes 
and always listened

She was my Meme 
now she's a star that glistens

My Mom was crying when she told me 

But she gave me a big hug so tight

And she explained that Meme is now a star 

above the earth so bright

When someone we love becomes an angel

A star is their only way 
to show us they can see

But now that I see her star so high

 I know she is still with me
