It has been over 10 years since you left us
I
have grown up from the naive girl
I
crave your advice.
I
miss the days we would take drives and you would analyze everyone
I
miss all the silly jokes you would tell me
I
miss the sternness you had and the funny way you taught me things
Looking at your picture everyday
I
can almost hear your laugh, see you smile, feel you hold my hand as you look me
in the eye and say nikee….
I
remember the day you threw the maize cobs at me and I laughed myself to stitches
Your
expression was to die for…. J
As
the days go by I think about you more and more
I
haven’t got married yet
Actually,
I haven’t found the right man
Anyway, I
am not in a hurry
I
still remember what you told me
The
qualities you told me are what I look for.
I
have a little girl
She
has a gap in the teeth just like you
She
smiles like you
She
is totally adorable
I
know if you had met her you would have fallen in love with her.
Haiya!
Wait!
You are a great grandmother posthumously
We
miss you.
*Dedicated
to my Nana
