Night Queen

Today, I planted a tree
In your name,
To show you what you mean to me.

There isn't a day
You're far from my thoughts.
Your beautiful face always seeing me.

You saw me born, reborn
Grow and live
A shade of you, but totally me.

Yours is an image I strive to reach,
The love, the warmth, the carefree.
Things you taught, not just me.


I live my life, now,
With a strength, a purpose, a force
That was yours in teaching me.

Your smile endures in my memory,
Though you made me cry in earnest,
For leaving me.

In your name I planted a tree.
To keep your spirit near.
I miss and love you Grandma....

That's why the Night Queen.
