i made you flowers, the prettiest you've seen
red and yellow, blue, purple and green
made from paper and glue
because they reminded me of you
mama put my teddy bear next to your arm
because he will keep you safe and warm
i wanted to send my night light, in case you were scared
mama said that it was the thought, that she knew i cared
but grandma would find a light brighter than what i had
and i couldn't help the tears that came because i felt so sad
i thought you'd always be there
this isn't right and it isn't fair
oh grandma, why did you have to go?
you won't get to see me grow
but i will carry you in my heart
whisper my secrets in the dark
because i know you'll be watching over me
and when i'm sitting beneath this old tree
beside your grave, i don't cry
it's not my place to question why
but this isn't where you rest
and just remember i love you best
