a poem for my grieving grandmother
To The Widow
My old matriarch, would you rest your heavy heart.
Pray if it makes you better, but steer away from regret.
Live the years you have left behind, leave your tears from missed goodbyes.
Live with the fleeting sunrises on your horizon, and the drifting clouds with their full wombs.
Live with the songs of the city, and the serenity of the night.
Live with your children, we miss him too, and we’re here to stay.
