More Than Just A Nan...

by Gem   Jan 22, 2007


My nan passed away last night. the 21st of January and 7.00pm..
And i feel so lost =(
I'm not asking for critism on my poem, i know it's got a rubbish flow and overused words. But it's my feelings on paper and it's not being changed.
If you want to comment, do so. But not to tell me off on grammer or structure.

Xx More Than Just A Nan xX

Nobody warned me about how I would feel
The constant pain, the tears and all the grief
It's almost unbearable to have you gone
But to know you're at peace is a relief

I didn't like to see you in so much pain
You were just waiting for your soul to succumb
I could see in your eyes that you'd had enough
Even though all those tablets made your body numb

It hurts that I wasn't there to hold your hand
And to say I loved you... just one last time
I never got to say my last goodbyes
And to see you safely on your heavenly climb

It's so painful to realise you're not coming back
That I'm never going to see you smile at me again
That fact you won't be there on my wedding day
Is just to much hurt for me to retain

Is it normal for me to feel so utterly lost?
To feel like i've lost a part of my soul?
But I know you're in a much better place now
So I'm trying my best to keep in control

Nanna, I don't know how to put into words
Just how much I loved and cared for you
For you were more than just a relative to me
You were a grandmother, a mom and a best friend too... ©

Dedicated to Barbara White. The best nanna in the world. Who i'm going to miss every second of every day for the rest of my life.

    Very touching. Brought a tear to my eye. Poetry lets us express ourselves, and our feelings. Never needs to be grammatically correct, because we ourselves are seldom correct. Let it out, and keep writing. My thoughts are with you. Blessed Be.

    Believe me, I lost my nanna days exactly 6 days before you and its the worst thing I have ever had to go through. Worst than losing my mother, depression, and every other thing I have evr gone through. I know exactly how you feel.
