ocean of memoires

Felicia Ralph 2007 (Illinois)



Ocean of Memories

I look for you even though I know your
Gone memories of you run through my mind
The waves in the ocean run into the shore
Just like your memories into my mind

Sometimes they make me want to fall and cry
None of them are bad all happy like you
Making everything feel amazing, you're my
Rock, the one everyone stood on,  but just  
 
Like that you're gone leaving to wonder how
To do the amazing things you did for
All, many calls you Mrs., but I always called
You grandma, my best friend, my hope, but you’re

Gone now all I have left are memories
from long ago, I wish things could be like before
