Gone but never forgotten
Death is not the end
Her words telling me that she loves me
Her angels watching over me
As I try to comprehend
I love my grandmother
I love her so well
Her warm hugs welcome me
But now that she’s gone
My heart begins to swell
My love for her was like a pet
Always clinging to its owner
But when the owner is gone
The pet will never forget
It just waits for it to come back as the days grow older
I wish she were here
Spreading wise words in my ear
Although she has left me
She has impacted my life greatly
I wish she were here reassuring me
Telling me I’m going to be okay
Making her journey back home
As her days start to slip away
Why did you do it
Why did you do it granny
Leaving me by myself
So sad and lonely

My favorite author is Renee Watson, she made my favorite book This Side of Home.
When I grow up I would like to become an environmental scientist to learn more about the changing climate.
My mother inspires me the most because she graduated from her colleges with high honors and raised three straight-A children.
