My Athamma, My best friend
Dedicated to my role model, Sudu Athamma
You picked me up
And held me tight,
And said you loved me
Every night.
Three months have passed,
But I still feel the same
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much pain
I know you’re looking over me,
Flying way up above the clouds,
But what I miss the most
Are all of the sounds.
The words you spoke so wisely
All the lessons that you taught me
Still remain right here
I want to hear your voice,
Not just in a dream, but for real,
To tell me that you’re happy,
And I can tell you how I feel.
My sunshine was taken,
Now my skies are left grey.
Oh, the things that I would give
For only one more day.
I’ll try to move on, but I know
It’s not gonna happen, but I will try.
What hurts the most
Is I never got to say goodbye...
You were more than just a Grandma,
You were my best friend
My life has changed forever,
But I’ll still love you ‘til the end.
Everloving granddaughter
