I still remember everything Those times where we would eat out with my mother Giving me money when we meet Those were the fun times
Few years later I heard you had cancer The rarest of them all And the kind that can't be cured
It sunk my heart like the Titanic I was just lost for a second And I was in deep thought That would you still live with me and my mother
I prayed to God everyday To keep you here on this planet I prayed so hard That I want you to stay
It's been 9 years that you fought it Been praying to God day in and day out To keep you alive 9 years
I got a phone call from a relative I asked if she's out of her hospital bed cured He said that she's gone And my heart exploded like the World Trade Center at 9/11
Few months later I saw you in a casket Brought a couple of my friends to know who you were And they already know
I knew that it would be the last time seeing you Which was the hardest part I got comfort from my friends Especially God
Seeing you being buried was the part where I tried to hide my tears But I didn't cause it's your time to be with the Lord I was the one who cried the most And it was hard leaving you
Then I realized that life goes on No matter how much I wanted you to stay I'll see you again in Heaven Rest in peace, Virginia
I dedicate this poem to my grandmother on my mom's side... She fought cancer for like, what, 9 years? I still can't believe she's gone, but then I realize that life goes on, no matter how much I want her to stay alive.
