What hurts the most is not being able to say goodbye.
I longed to be there before you died.
I just hope you knew how much I loved you,
And how much it hurt that I couldn't see you one last time.
You always seemed to know when I had done something that I wasn't supposed to,
Or when I was hiding the fact that I was hurting.
Now it's hard to hide the pain I have inside.
I didn't get to say I Love You or goodbye, before you went to be with Grandpa in the the sky.
I know you are better off in Heaven, watching over my Daddy and me.
I know I will see you again that one fine day.
I made a mistake not coming to see you before I left, because I am torn up inside, since I never got to say goodbye.

This was a very beautiful and forlorn poem. It's a very tragic situation you have experienced here, but even though you weren't able to say goodbye, it's clear that you loved her very much. I'm sure she was very much aware of that, then and now.
This is such an adorable poem that was so charming to read through.It is so nice to see someone that cares about the members of their family.I am sure that your Grandmother loved this poem and is very proud of you for having wrote it.Once again you have evinced your creative side.Sincerely,Eric
I can relate to this in so many ways. My grandmother wasn't the best person in the world but I still cared for her. The one I've got right now is deteriorating before my eyes. She is 84 now and I live with her. I hope that I get to tell her goodbye. I'm always worried that I won't or that we will have an argument and then she'll just be gone. Thanks for reminding me to cherish what time I have. I think that you did a great job of expressing how you feel. The second to last line is a little tripped up though. I might try saying: I made a mistake not coming to see you before I left, because I was torn up inside. So I never got to say goodbye.
I hope this helps!!! Keep writing!
This verse is very meaningful for any one who has ever lost a loved one reflecting our grieving and sense we should have done more. It is oh so accurate that it hits the memory button for me. (Your gram knows you love her!!!)

This is very sad and very emotional. I didn't get to see my Grandmother either, just before she died, but I know she knew I loved her. That was some 30 years ago, but I still think of her fondly. Some grandmothers are the best, and it sounds like you and I got the best ones.
