Grandma



I tried to call you,
You didn't pick up the phone,
I tried to text you,
You didn't text me back,
I felt like I was being ignored,
I went to the house,
And you wasn't even there,
I had forgotten that you was gone,
My heart wanted to go back in time,
And take one more minute and lay and speak to you just one more second for one more day.
F*ck I'll take my whole lifetime just to have you right back.  Me and little sis chatting about the good ole days how things used to be when we didn't have things to worry about. Playing with the street lights on, swimming in the summer times with our neighborhood friends, those we're the good ole days, daddy teaching our siblings how to sing and play yep those were those good ole days. Me dancing and writing and figuring out whom I wanted to be. I always said I was the black sheep of this here family. But all this was good ole memories flowing in. At the end of the day you saved us all we have no clue where we would of ended up without you in this world how are we all supposed to survive without you here. We love and miss you everyday!
