Grandmother, I am sorry for all of the hurt that I may have caused you
Letting people down is something that I always seem to do.
Grandmother, all you wanted was for me to visit you from time to time
I should have visited you more, for you, I should have tried.
Grandmother, you had so much that you wanted to tell me
But I always said, "Some other time, just let me be."
Grandmother, you gave and you gave
But from me, you never received anything back
I always said "Maybe another day"
My attention always seemed to be something you lacked.
Grandmother, even on the very last, when you were very sick
The space you wanted beside you was always mine
But I always seemed too busy
I always seemed to put it off 'till "some other time."
Grandmother, some other time never came
You passed away
So now I can't make up for all of my excuses that were so very lame.
Grandmother, oh how you must have hurt
When I never came to hug and kiss you hello
Oh grandmother, I should have learned
That somethings were always more important, you know?
Grandmother, how many times did you wait
Just for me to show up
Now it's all too late
I wish I would have showed you more love.
Grandmother, now that you're gone
Oh how I miss you dearly!
Whenever I hear your favorite song
I think back, and wish that I would have done things differently.
I love you grandmother, please know that it's true
I am sorry for what I did, and for what I didn't do.
I love you grandmother, please know that it's true
I now wish that I would have taken the time to show you.
~In loving memory of my amazing and beautiful grandmother (Mearl Mardis Jones)~
Note: Everyone please take the time to visit and show the ones you love that you care. For you may never know, if this very day, just may be your very last.
