You made me laugh
You helped me cry.
You fought for me;
I don't know why.

You gave me life
You helped me cheer.
You made me see
The world so clear.

You gave me faith
In my own stock.
You helped me fight;
You are my rock.

I used to fear
The great unknown
You gave me strenght
To stand on my own.

I'm still afraid
To face my fears.
I'm still trying
To hold in the tears.

I still feel fear
Sometimes I'm blue
But all I need
Is my rock-that's you. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 295 [topic] => 23 [informant] => Hannah_jeannie_Brazeau [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

A truly touching poem. My grandmother died in July, but she had always insisted we didnt' have a funeral for her. She didn't want a fuss made. The other day we scattered some of her ashes in her garden, but I still can't completly absorb that she is dead. I guess it is because there was no funeral. My grandfather is getting sicker and sicker by the day and I am afraid of losing him aswell. Anyway as I said, a very touching poem
