The Call

Hey Boondocks! In this piece it talks about a family member passing. We have all had one pass on. Its a hard time to cope with. In this story, my Great Grandma Nanny, had passed away a day after my birthday. It was hard. She was an inspiration and an incredible women. It has been a year since her passing. I hope you enjoy it and let this piece bring comfort and peace to you.

Every Summer I see you

your loving face

along with the sound of your voice 

that comforts me

it is the song of love ringing through the sky

You held me as a baby 

Now you watched me grow

As I did you whispered

Im proud of you.

The hugs you give are warm

keeps me safe from harm

As time goes by we grow old

Just turning 92 

still just as strong as an ox.

Then you whispered I feel pain

my body is weak. 

My time is coming for me

to be with him.

Those are the words that pound in my heart.

Knowing the time is coming.

I dont want to believe.

I want you to stay here holding me.

Kissing me on the forehead goodnight.

Spending the day with laughs.

Letting you go is hard 

to cope.

The beeps of the hospital bed 

ring as you lay.

So peacefully sleeping as we watch.

Day by day waiting, 

For the moment to cry 

and weep.

March 30th, 2013,  Easter Sunday

it was 10:20 am.

You breathed you last.

Ring Ring Ring.

of the telephone.

A voice on the other end.

Whispered she's gone.

RIP Nanny.
