God's Will...

DEDICATED TO MY AUNT: THEA BEBBA HARAMIS

When I heard you wanted to see me today,
it was not normal on a Tuesday.
When I saw you, you looked as tired as ever,
at that moment, I realized you aren't going to stay forever.
You had me sit on your lap,
my head upon your shoulder as if I were taking a nap.
"I want to see your Papou again, I miss him very much."
You saying these words, I didn't want to hear such.
Holding me in your arms, telling me how much you love me.
I knew I was both happy and sad as can be.
Happy, because you love me.
Sad, because I'll miss you when your soul is free.
Placing your stiff hand in mine,
I knew that was another sign.
I loved the feeling of your soft skin,
and love your beautiful grin.
Kissing my cheek,
two things within your eyes I could seek.
Love and death was what I saw,
taking you away from me is against the law.
I love you Thea Bebba and I always will,
Another hole in my heart, I will prepare to drill.
I shed my tears for you,
because I feel that is all I can do.
"i love you" is all I can say for you,
through love and comfort, you will safely pull through...

Papou - grandpa (in Greek)
