My Yiayia
In English translated to Grandmother, or Gran,
The best person I could ever remember
31 years ago God took her away,
She was my friend, the one still to this day I wanted to stay.
Now I am seen as a adult,
A person who listens to others and on their behalf sends across a prayer,
Yet, when I am hurting, I am contained, go to the gym and show to the world I am alright
But Inside I think of my Yiayia and knew that one day I shall see her face shine through the quiet night.
Her kindness, her giving and her love brought me so much protection
She was my world, my friend and my Nan whom I would do anything for,
People today who are fiery and chaotic
Especially our family, which embraced chaos and noise
Yet her presence showed calmness and a tremendous amount of poise.
She was my world
She was my friend,
I use to medicate her with an injection each morning and night
But If I had to do that again, I would accept the challenges that came from all my might.
You see, life brings you challenges
That is all part of the plan,
But when I think of my Yiayia, I know I can take stock and think as child holding her hand.
“Love you Yiayia…missing you… after all these years”
