At The Blink of an Eye
Dear Nana,
How are you? How have you been?
I've been trying to be happy but how do I begin?
I remember your last day like the back of my hand
Little did I know time was running out like dripping grains of sand.
I woke up early with butterflies in my stomach
It was time for the last preformances of the play, I was standing on the summit.
But the news snapped my heart like a branch,
I started plummeting down the hill like an avalanche.
"She's gone," I said, as my theatre family gathered around.
I spilled out tears and collapsed on the ground.
I miss you Nana, I hope you know.
I reserved a seat for you in the front row.
They say time heals all wounds,
I wonder if grief is something that includes.
Everbody wishes you could come back for just another few minutes
I only wish I would of went over more often to visit.
It's been two months since you've laughed your last laugh,
Nana, I love you, and I know you loved me back.
So have fun in Heaven, I know you're flying high,
We'll see you soon, but for now, we say bye-bye.
With love, Ally
