If I Could.. Poem by Emily Casbourn

If I had just one wish
You'd be the one I would wish for
Even though you’re not living
I would want to know you more
Grandma I miss you
I never got over it
You suddenly passed away
My family started to die
Everything went sour
No one wanted to be near
I was so upset
I didn't even know what to do
Your heart is still here
Yet your body isn't near
Winter pass by
On your birthday we all cry
You meant so much to me
This little girl didn't know you that well
She sat on your bed as we were cleaning
She looked out the window and cried
Everyone tear dropp melted into those satin sheets you had
My heart shattered
A puzzle piece went missing
I couldn't remember your voice
I still have trouble hearing it
Many years have passed
I haven't forgotten you yet
But know this grandma
If I had one wish
You'd be that one wish of mine
Another week with you
Before you left for good
I miss you 3
