A kind smile greets me as my eyes first saw light It was your face growing bright as you hold the child of your child
And it was bliss —the years we spent together in your house by the farm It was more than I could ever ask for
A lonely smile creeps to your face —the last few years when you could remember me It was your life —growing dim and you wish to have spent it with me
And it was this crushing regret as I watched you slowly forget all the days we spent in your house by the farm It was something I wished I had the greed to ask for
A sad smile broke through my lips as your eyes last saw the glimmers of light in this world It was never my face that you saw last as you let go and plunge into the unknown
And it was torture as I wished I could have been in your house by the farm I could never ask for anything more than to have been the one to say to you "See you on the other side, lola —you'll be home soon"
[NOTE: lola means "grandmother" in my native language.
This day is a special one since it's my grandma's supposed to be 79th birthday. She died last March 2020 and I didn't get to see her go. We just heard through the phone. ;-;
This is my tribute to you, lola. I hope you are happy, wherever you are. :')]
