One More Day With You

Several years since you've been gone,
Yet I can still hear the ring of your voice,
Everyone else seems to have moved on,
Yet my heart knows only of your loss.

Today is a special day, Thanksgiving;
I can't help but think about the past,
Four years ago on this very day I was singing,
As you brought out delicious meals by the mass.

Seeing this holiday come and go,
Brings me back to thoughts of you,
Everything from baking to learning to sew,
I wouldn't know if I didn't have you.

Grandma, you're so far away,
Yet your comfort is near,
Looking up to you, I'll get through the day,
With you by my side, I have nothing to fear.

You're no longer here on Earth,
I imagine you looking down from pearly gates,
Lost in the tide of life, I begin to surf,
Hoping to return to the glory days.

Life without you seems pointless,
Nothing falls into place as it did with you,
At the end of each day I've become stressed,
You made me come to life, if you only knew.

If only I had one more day,
Once more chance to be with you,
All the questions I'd ask without a moment's delay,
Something tells me you have all the answers too.

If only I had one more day,
One more chance to see you smile,
The smile that chased all my worries away,
I just wish you could come back for a while.

Grandma, we are so far apart,
Yet I feel your presence is near,
You always said I had a special place in your heart,
With you watching over me, I have nothing to fear.
