Grandparents

Quietly.
Watching and waiting for the image to appear
As I close my eyes, I can imagine you here.
I can feel your arms wrapped around me.
I can still smell your scent.
Tears blur my vision as I envision you
Sitting here by my side.
I can still hear your laughter filling the room.
Smell your cooking wafting in the air.
I miss you.
Hearing your words of wisdom.
Your words of intellect.
Never would I neglect to listen.
They have gotten me through some
Of the most difficult times.
I can't lie, it hurts like hell that your not here
Sometimes through out the night my pillow
Gets soaked by my tears. I can see you when
I'm dreaming. I reach out to you, but it feels
Like I'm reaching out forever. Chasing you.
The faster I run, the farther you get.
A distance I can never seem to catch up too.
I miss the phone calls every week.
The time I came to visit when you were so weak.
But through all the pain you with through you,
You remained strong. All along, sore and hurting.
Never alerting to what was really going on.
The admiration I have for you is nothing less than pure.
My heart for you aches and my ears yearn to hear
Your voice once more.
I sit and go through pictures. Seeing your smiling faces
Remembering the day that it was taken. I sit and reminisce,
Think and miss you now and forever more.
The impact left on me molded me into the woman I am today.
For that all I can say is Thank You. I love you.
For now, for then, for yesterday, for today.
I pray that you are watching over me.
Sending your love down to me.
Giving me nothing but positive energy.
When I'm down, I feel that I need you near me. I swear
The power of love runs through me. I know it is you
Sending your love to me. Telling me that everything
Will be OK, and that all I need to do is pray.
I patiently wait for the day to see you again.
But until then, I will just say I love you..
I miss you.

My Grandparents.
