I've Always Been the Lucky One
When my grandmother, Mommom, left this world, I was left with only these words and pain. She raised me and my sister as a mother, and above all, was my best friend. She always encouraged my writing and everything that I did. She was the most beautiful and precious gem and not even time has made the loss fade.

My soul has been split in two.
The better piece of me is still with you.
I’ll carry your memory with me always.
One step at a time for the rest of my days.
You helped me love, by showing me the way.
You took my hand, and promised you would stay.
You let me yell, when I needed to feel heard.
You gave me advice, when I wanted to save the world.
You're the light that guides me home; the anchor that holds me steady.
I know I'll never be alone, but I don't think I'd ever be ready.
You're the flower that gives me hope, but my heart still feels so heavy;
And I've always been the lucky one.
I had to give you permission to go,
Before I could discover everything that you know.
All of your stories; how I long to hear.
My soul feels so empty, my eyes fill with tears.
You're the light that guides me home; the anchor that holds me steady.
I know I'll never be alone, but I don't think I'd ever be ready.
You're the flower that gives me hope, but my heart still feels so heavy;
And I've always been the lucky one.
But my soul is still split in two,
The better half of me remains with you;
Oh, but you let me yell, when I needed to feel heard,
And you gave me advice when I wanted to save the world.
