It's coming round that time again,
When snow flakes glisten and my heart aches.
I see the beauty in the skies and endless nights of glimmer;
This winter wonderland is nothing, not anymore.
Not since that Christmas eve, will my holiday be "merry" again.
Once upon a time,
You were here to guide me.
Now I'm lost and turning blue,
My heart has nobody to guide to.
Remember me Velma Irene,
My grandma dear and true.
Rest in peace,
And stay with me.
In my heart, if true.
Four years to date, on Christmas eve;
They stole my angel from me,
Right out of her wings.
It was as if they knew I needed you
And thought they needed you more.
They claimed to deserve you better,
I was never one to win the gold.
You where mine, my angel, my friend.
I love you Angel, Irene.
In the depths of my heart, I break
I cry, and I get lost.
5 days past my 15th birthday,
Why did you go?
Why did you fly away?
I blamed them then, and to this day still do.
You were my angel, and they stole you.
With no right at hand,
"She needs a blood transfusion,
Or she just won't make it through the night"
They convinced us,
To let them,
Cut you open and help you breathe.
They lied,
They said you would die if we didn't.
Well we did.
And that morning after,
In the hospital,
It wasn't you we saw.
My angel was fading and bleeding to gray.
Later that night you passed,
Packed your wings and flew sky high.
Now I'm the mythical type,
To believe in god and higher powers.
But I do know this,
One day,
On one night.
My Christmas angel was devoured.

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma - you worded this so personally, it was like you cut yourself open for us to see how your heart bleeds without her
- and feel your pain, heck I could almost see the tears!
This was inspirational, and I'm so sorry for your loss - she clearly meant quite a bit to you
-
Splendid and I am sorry for your loss
-
awww - so sad and heartfelt!
My grandmother (also Irene) died on Thanksgiving several years ago...we still don't like to have turkey on thanksgiving. it's hard to lose family - anytime of the year, but especially around a holiday.
best wishes in your contest.

and it was the hospitals fault. they drained her blood and slipped up.
we are getting an $800,000 settlement to split between my mother and her 7 brothers and sisters.
But I can honestly say we all would much rather have her and my gpa back.
