TO MY GRANDMA
On November 14, 2012

Goodbye, Grandma
your tired eyes will someday rise
Above this lonely shore
I wonder, wish, and always miss
the smiles
and, of course
I’m staying strong
I’ll get along
But I think about you now
And I can’t imagine where I’d be
without your loving vows
I try not to shed the tears
try to hold back the fears
the memories of the wasted years
But I’m coming to a close
How can I get back the times
The wasted tries and heartfelt lines.
Oh, Susana, don’t you cry for me
I remember when we’d sing
But now, I hear the choir bells ring
You’re watching over, looking down.
Can you hear me now?
Are you happy with your eternity?
The lonely days are leaving
I feel you close to me
Can you hear me, grandma?
Your girl, I’ll always be.
