Twenty Years of Grief

I can't be there today to sit beside your grave, I need to talk to you its comforts what I crave I've cried a million tears as I've walked into forever, wandering lost and alone since our bond was severed I look into the night to see you walk the stars, listening to the deep for messages from afar I've learned to write in word my heartache and pain, until that sacred time when I'll be with you again I miss your words of advice and the sound of your voice, being so far apart from you would never be my choice As I walk in fields of gold your memory is with me, and looking at carnations makes a smile break free The strength of your love is a testament of my grief, only when I leave this place will I find a peaceful relief I'm going to be a Nan I wish I could share with you, all these little happy times but I'm only feeling blue My dearest loving Mother I miss you more each day, twenty years have passed it hurts more than I could say

Loved ones remain in our hearts, but it sure would be nice to be able to make a phone call to them once in awhile. Sometimes, I still start to call and my grandmother has been gone since 2003. It strikes me as strange ... and I feel sad every time. It actually happens with both of my grandmothers even though one has only been go for about 10 years. We used to share a lot. I hope families are forever like some churches teach.
