Upon the Passing of a Matriarch In Loving Memory of Grandma


Your ship is no longer sailing
You’ve wisely changed your route
I journeyed through forlorn weather
Still my optimism was acute

Though I wanted to see you smiling
I’m glad you chose calmer seas
Because I’d rather see you resting
Than struggling through storms like these

I hoped against the news that
 Your vessel’s run ashore
Yet slowly I have found
That hope exists no more

At first I tried to refuse but
I’ve come to change my stance.
In truth, I couldn’t deny it.
It was time to give death a chance.
