KANISHA’S POEM

Grandma

Grandma, it’s ok, we will be just fine

You deserve the peace you have found

You have been so much to so many.

Thank you so much for all the lessons and beautiful memories

While reflecting on our times, Grandma, we can’t help but to laugh It didn’t matter who it was; you never gave anyone a pass.

You were so strong yet so gentle

You wore your heart on your sleeve

We always know where we stood with you And in us, you always believed

You had a unique relationship with us all. When we needed help, most times, we didn’t even have to call.

You were just always there, ready to fight for us all Even if we didn’t say it often, we love you as you loved us

It hurts, but we can’t put up a fuss. You dedicated your life to us, and that was more than enough.

We knew this day would come, but our hearts did not let us prepare We never wanted to let you go because with you; no one will ever compare

Words can’t express the the void you will leave in our hearts But we know for sure you are shining above the stars

We love you and cherish you more than we showed It’s not easy, but we know we must let you go

You were everything to so many while you were here

This is your time now; rest well, my dear.

“The Broken Chain”

We little knew that day, God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide.

And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
