Winters cold air, engulfs and transports me through time
As I sit on my nanas lap, she’s singing me an old rhyme
I look in her eyes, fascinated by how beautiful her smile
I wish she was here now to help get me through lifes trial
I was nine years when I sadly witnessed her passing
Why can’t some things in life happen to be everlasting
Each period seemingly bringing another tragic demise
My fathers death is the next to meet the heavens skies

My father
The hospitals scent so distinctive, I finally meet my dads eyes
By my side, my mother cries, we think its time for goodbyes
I clutch his hand willing him not to leave, but now its too late
Fate has dealt an unlucky blow and there’s no time to wait

He slips away, I cry on my brothers shoulder, inconsolable
My momma’s screams are so high-pitched and uncontrollable

The suns blistering heat, kidnaps me, I’m at another place
Witnessing all my families faces, I hold them in an embrace
Trying to fill this empty space, always looking for answers
Thoughts of them whirl around my head like ballet dancers
I capture each memory, close the lid on a box in my head
look to my future instead, until I find another of them dead
We bury my father soon after, from up above he’s now glancing
As he takes my nanas hand and on a rainbow they’re dancing
