Six Years Ago

Six years ago

Feels like six days ago

When you were holding 

Me in your arms

Telling me to not be afraid

Of the future,

And a future without you

Six years ago

I was eleven years old

Young, without a care

In the world

But now at seventeen

I miss you more than ever

Its like part of me is missing

Six years ago you left this earth

But you will never leave my heart

Author's Note

Six years ago I lost my grandmother and this is in memory of her.

beautiful and very heartfelt. i have lost too many loved ones in recent years. the loss takes a lot of strength and love to get over. writing your heart in verse is a terrific way to immortalize and release your pain. thank you for this beautiful memory of your beloved grandmother.

at the end of the second "its" should be "it's" though that's the least formal aspect and should probably be gotten rid of all together. i can sense your sorrow in this piece, simple and sweet.

Awwww!! Memories of our family members will always stay in our hearts. Always!
This is quite a sweet tribute. Our best thing to do is remember all the good happy memories... because it's what brings the family member to life..

Memories of good people will always stay with us. A dear grandmother will stay in our hearts forever. I believe the best thing we can do. Is remember their face and kind words. Follow their example of love and kindness. Thank you for the excellent poem for a special woman.
