Nan

A bright light has been extinguished,
Now that you're gone,
There's a hole in my heart shaped like you.
My days are now darker,
The time it moves slower,
But my memories are what get me through.

I hope you liked the flowers, nan,
They reminded me of you,
I wrote some cards to wish you well,
Every word upon them true.

We said our final goodbyes today, nan,
The family gathered to show that they care,
A poem was read and music was played,
There were tears and memories shared.

I guess that this means you're really gone, nan,
Although you remain in my thoughts and my heart,
Not a day goes by when I don't think of you, nan,
And those memories tear me apart.

My words they seem redundant, nan,
But I speak to you every night,
I thank you for being the person you were,
For now being my source of angelic light.
