Angel

Angel

I love her, I miss her everyday
I still don’t understand why you had to take her away
She was needed here to hold things together
Without her I haven’t been happy in forever
I miss her smile, her laugh, the way she always knew what to say
God what I wouldn’t give for one more day
I need her to tell me what to do
I need her to tell me I can make it through
I need her to make me pancakes and apple pie
I need her to hold me when I cry
The family is fractured, completely broken apart
Just like the pieces of my heart
Lord how can I go on?
When my heart seems to be made of stone
She was the center of my world
She was supposed to be here when I had my little girl
But now there is no grandmother to travel the roads with me
No grandmother to teach me all her secret things
Now I can only hold on to the memories
Of the angel I miss who was here only too briefly

Dedicated to my grandmother who meant the world to me
