The Greatest Woman
Amanda Beard Aug 2011
You were the most amazing grandmother anybody could ask for.
Now you are not with me but with the Good Lord.
You taught me so much in the life you were here.
Now without you, I am sitting here in fear.
What am I going to do without you to turn to.
You always kept me together and you would always tell me truth.
I miss you more and more as each day passes me.
There is times at night that I want to cry to you on my knees.
I spend hours contemplating on how my life is going to be without you.
I loved you so much and respected you and I hope that is what you knew.
Sometimes I feel that you are in my presence when I am down and out.
I feel that you put your hand on my shoulder and help me to see without.
I have three beautiful kids that aren’t going to get to know the greatest woman I knew.
But I hope when they get older the stories I tell them, they will feel like they do.
I know I will never have another grandmother to see me through what you did.
But I want you to stay here in my presence and help me on this earth the time that I spend.
Always stay with papa and help him through this hard time without you.
Let him know you knew he was the greatest man you have ever known.
Let him feel you beside him when he needs to talk to you.
YOU WERE THE GREATEST WOMAN AND GRANDMOTHER I HAVE EVER KNOWN!

I Still Need A Mother
Amanda Beard Aug 2011
I need a mother who would love me
I need a mother who would take care of me
I need a mother who would understand me
I need a mother for who I am
I need a mother to know me
I need a mother who would be there for me
I need a mother who would not yell at her daughter
I need a mother who won't push her daughter away
I need a mother who would not throw me out of her life

Even though I still need a mother
Everyday I try to be nice
Sometime she don't care about me
What I need is a mother who would be there for me
I need a mother who would watch me grow
I need a mother who would celebrate my birthday
I need a mother who would miss me

I need a mother to cry on
I need a mother to know that her daughter loves her

But she won't let me know her
What I need is a mother

Who is no more now.

— The End —
