this is the last letter you will read....
your getting old and to weak to live....
and i know ....
i know you want to stay , live just one more day....
but i know ....
i know you will be happy up there ....
in a place called heaven ....
a place where there is no pain .... no problems....
i will miss you and will always remember ....
the gran that loved the best....
I know....
its time to say our final goodbyes ....
and pray for a better tomorrow ....
where both of our feelings will ease ....
and we can live as one ....
Gran i know .....
I know..... you dont want to let me down ....
but its ok now.... just go ....
ease yourself into sleep ....
i will be right hear next to you ....
its ok....
i am not hurting anymore ....
i love you ....
Goodbye ....
And as she falls to sleep , a smile appears on her face....
i know she is happy....
i know i will see her one day ....
i know i was loved by her and still will be.....
i know she will be with me always and forever untill i follow her up to the sky ....
i know i will miss her and that it wont change for a while ....
but i know she will be happy now ..... and that makes me happy....

QUOTE : "The future is a gray seagull
Tattling in its cat-voice of departure, departure.
Age and terror, like nurses, attend her,
And a drowned man, complaining of the great cold,
Crawls up out of the sea."
THIS IS TO MY GRAN WHO DIED IN 2005 . I STILL MISS HER AND WILL ALWAYS .... THE QUOTE INSPIRED ME TO THINK BACK TO HER AND WRITE HER A LETTER OF LOVE .... SHE WAS SO ILL BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY AND SHE WAS HAPPY AS SHE DIED AND THE POEM TO ME MEANS THAT YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS ILL AND NEEDS TO BE RELEASED WHICH I DID WITH MY GRAN ...

I would tend to agree that the ellipsis was overused here and unfortunately, I think it did detract from the overall feeling of the piece. Also, while the poem was thoroughly entrenched in emotion, there was not any rage or anger present. So, it doesn't really fit the premise of this contest. Sorry!

I think that the ellipsis was a bit overused in this, it kind of took away from the poem. The emotion is very deep in this though, I can tell this poem, and the person you wrote it for, are very true to you.Well penned.
