Grandma

as i look to the sky i have a vision that surrounds me
how we used to laugh and sing and talk about nothing, and what i wanted to be
things i could not see, the future

You were the most important person in my life
a manifestation of the spirits i have yet to come in contact with
my lifeline in which my blood runs through my veins

when you left me i didn't know what to do
telling myself that it would be okay
but for some reason i knew it wasn't true
that someday i would call on you and i would hear nothing

I DID hear something when i called
your voice was as clear as rain
premonition guiding me , I was enlightened
we have always had this special bond

16 years i have been without you, and your presence is still as strong now as then
for you are my driving force, my who my where my when
inspiration for things to come
hope for my future, as one.
