Day

Day

Today is the anniversary

Of the day we said goodbye

I cried as we talked of times

Past treasures of fleeting memories

You were the first person

To make me feel truly

Welcome that I belonged

Safe in the circle of your arms

Your laughter helped me to find hope

Joking me into seeing the joy

To cast off sorrows

Yet my heart will always

Be heavy with it

On this

The day we said goodbye

I love you Grandma Beth
