Poetry Day 29

Day 29: Epitaph Poem

Today I wrote two poems, one is for my {late grandfather} 

the other I was inspired to write by another blogger from OctPoWriMo!

So here is: The Grandfather & I Am Here

The Grandfather 

I remember you falling ill

Then you just lying there so still

I remember holding you hand so tight

You could no longer fight

I remember how I would cry myself to sleep

I didn't want you to hear me weep

I still remember every morning you pick fresh flowers from the garden

I still have the necklace you gave me just days before you left, the one that is golden

We were visiting you for the first time

Who knew that this would also be the very last time?

I still remember the outfit you had brought from back home, it was so colorful

You were always so joyful

We went to the butterfly museum together

I thought I would have you forever

You were a respected, kind, loving, honorable man

I will honor you in the best ways I can

Time She Shine

Here is Aishah Ansari

A person who is not sorry

For the life she is lived

She was always well advised

She never gives up hope

She would never want you to mope

She is still here

No longer living in fear

Finally going after her dreams

It’s time she shines bright as her light beams

She’s going to be brave

And this time everyone will rave.

She’s finally getting up

She’s had enough

She sees it now

She’s a fighter

It’s time to for her to run through the fire

She’s fierce with the eye of the tiger.
**obviously you can see many of these lines 
were inspired by Katy Perry's song Roar

Sincerely,

Aishah
