A poem for my Aunt |
“Take it easy, Life is too short Don’t worry about the little things” She was fighting a horrific battle And was waiting for her wings She didn’t judge my life She guided me along the way She let me cry on her shoulder Even when I was afraid I came to her with problems Even cried from my heart I came to her with tears She was there from the start We even had our fights Some quarrels here and there We really had it out one time But I really didn’t care Then I saw, she was like me She just wanted some love She didn’t ask for much Maybe just for a simple hug I wanted her to feel love The fear she always held Anxiety that ran through her It always made my heart melt She cried with me on the phone “No one really loves me” My God, it was her birthday Why couldn’t she just see? What I wanted her to know She always had a friend She was never really alone And it was never really the end She deserved to be happy I wanted her to feel love She should have been smiling And all of that mushy stuff I know she didn’t see it But I went to her that day Showing her she’s always loved Maybe she’ll see it, I prayed That day I at least got a smile Her spirits were raised more She realized people loved her As her heart would just pour She smiled ear to ear It shined through her eyes She looked so very happy She even started to cry Blowing it off and playing cool She always tried to hide it Giving me the best advice Trying not to throw a fit She always has put on a face The bravery through it all The courage to fight on Never to let someone see her fall Trying to stay positive Fighting back the tears Sometimes down in the dumps But putting aside all her fears “Same Shit Different Day” She told me and just smiled I know it was a just a mask But she made it last for a while I know I drove her nuts And she always kept her cool I was always like her Just as stubborn as a mule But even from the sadness She had an amazing soul Sharing her stories with others As her heart begins to unfold She had this infectious laugh And her smile that just shined The love that she shared for all It was really never far behind She had this wonderful spirit “Who cares what others say?” This bravery she gave me She showed it to me everyday “Always try to be yourself Screw those who didn’t like it Accept yourself for who you are Don’t even try to throw a fit” “There really was no sense in it Worrying over that little stuff Now find something positive You can always find the love” “When you get to be my age” Is what I would always hear “Life is too short sweetie” That was her biggest fear She knew life was slipping by her Her health had started falling I could only sit back and watch As she would just start bawling I know she was suffering She was hurting so bad And then seeing her so sick It made me so very mad But she made her decision She didn’t want to fight It was hard for all of us But it really was her life We had to respect that Even if it was so very sad Her family stayed with her Didn’t matter how bad Even though she was sick She put on a strong face Life was way too precious One more day she would not waste She stayed so very strong It was amazing everyday I just want her here one more day I would just sit here and pray Watching her suffer so badly Or be gone, and pain free? It was selfish I do know How could this even be? She is now in peace And she is now pain free God so many people loved her I wish she could have seen She is now pain free But I know she’s still around She’s always in my heart It is peace that she now found We hear her laughter still And we can see her smile All we have to do is look Way down deep inside I’m going to miss her so much But her love is not really gone Her strength runs through us We just have to stay strong “Take it easy, Life is too short Don’t worry about little things” Cause on May 30th, at 7:55pm An angel received her wings. |
