To My Grandmother
I’ve been waiting here
At the edge of the water
The wind blowing through my hair
The smell of sea salt filling my nose
The sun just peeking out over the horizon
Nothing but vast oceans stretching out for miles
It’s a beautiful sight
But looking at the sun rise is not the main purpose
For why I am here
I have come to bid my final good byes
To someone I love
I feel as if a part of me died with her
I shiver at the water’s cold touch
Memories flooding through my mind
I picture her riding her Arabian horse
Through the fields of grass that never seem to end
I can see the smile on her face as the wind whips around her
She slows when she reaches the house
She gets off the horse and leads it to the barn area
And there I am
Stroking the mane of another horse
As I lean over the fence
I see her feeding the horses
Me tagging along so I could pet them
I go to the one she rode named Acadia
I try to hug it, but I’m too short, too small to make a difference
We go back inside
The memory fades away
And I am brought back to reality
Tears stream down my face
I miss her
I would give anything to spend one more day with her
I never even got to say good bye
I wasn’t by her side when she passed
All I can do is call out
Maybe she will hear me
Goodbye Nana
Rest in Peace.
