Whispers of a Grandmother's Love

A Melancholic Ode to an Eternal Bond

In the depths of sorrow's embrace, I tread,

With words adorned, my heart's lament I spread.

For in this tale, I'll weave a mournful thread,

Of a beloved grandmother, now long since dead.

Oh, dear soul, how your presence did imbue,

A warmth and love that forever grew.

Your gentle touch, like a morning dew,

Caressed my spirit, and my heart it knew.

In wisdom's robes, you stood so tall,

Guiding me through life's uncertain squall.

With tender words, you'd gently call,

A beacon of strength, through it all.

Your wrinkled hands, aged with grace,

Etched with stories of time's swift pace.

They held the secrets of a bygone space,

And memories that time cannot erase.

But fate's cruel hand, it played its part,

And snatched you away, with a heavy heart.

Now, only echoes of your laughter start,

A symphony of sorrow, tearing me apart.

I weep for the days we'll never share,

The moments lost, forever in despair.

Yet, in my soul, your spirit's flare,

A flickering candle, guiding me there.

Grandmother dear, your memory lives on,

In whispered sighs and the morning dawn.

Though you are gone, you're never truly gone,

For love's eternal bond will forever spawn.

So, let the tears flow, like a river's crest,

For in the depths of sadness, we find our best.

And though your absence leaves an aching chest,

I'll cherish the love you've left impressed.
