Christina's Poems

Up In Heaven

Grandmother I did not know you

As well as I wish I did

And now that you have left us

It's time to close the lid.

I know that you're in heaven

Where you'd rather be

Hanging out with old family and friends

Watching over me.

The time we've spent together

Has been filled with love and fun

Even though you've been sick

But that's why your time has come.

I will always miss and love you

Like I have these many years

Thus being the only reason

I need to shed these tears.

I hope I don't disappoint you

With what I do and say

And I definitely plan to join you

Up in heaven someday.

I wrote this poem in honor of my grandmothers.  My parents moved us to several states away from our family, so my siblings and I didn't get to spend much time with our grandparents.  After losing both of my grandmothers, I decided to write this poem for them.
