Andrew "Dewey" Taylor Graham

I want to write but no words come,

My ideas have run dry,

My fingers move over the keys,

I feel a part of me has died,

 

My creative flow is gone,

Ability to show emotions nevermore,

I re-read all the old poems,

Wishing to know where inspiration was stored,

 

I think of all that's happened,

All the good times and the bad,

I remember what you were like,

All the crazy fun we had,

 

I feel tears welling up,

my itching eyes turn red,

remembering how great you were,

all the things you had said,

 

I think of how you look last,

So cold, lifeless, and silent,

I feel my fists clinch,

And I start to feel violent,

 

Tears pout out of my eyes,

I fall to the floor,

I can't imagine life without you,

Can't stand not seeing you anymore,

 

I think of all the memories,

the three of us together,

I remember crying on maw-maw's couch,

scared of the weather,

 

I remember you pushing me down,

telling me to "toughen it out",

I remember playing with hot wheel cars,

the three of us "camping out"

 

I get so lost in memories,

I forget where I am,

I remember christmas & easters,

I feel proud to be a Graham,

 

I find my inspiration,

And sit down to write,

Thinking of all of us together again

Life after death seems bright,

    From the Heart

     I had ask your permission to read the words you wrote

    It is just my nature, to take my nose and poke

    The words you wrote i know came from your heart.
    I know he touched may lives before he had to part.

    It was just his way of saying this is only the start

    With all the tears and the pain we felt when he went away

    Just made the family stronger to this very day

    He says dont cry for me for i did not go away

    Im there with you each and every day.

    So dry your tears and dont be so sad

    For im just glad that he called me Dad.

     

     

    I love you baby girl more than you know. Dont be embarrassed of the things you write. It is the true inner soul of you. dont stop writing and look into your heart. for every thing is there. Im proud that you share the name Graham. start doing research on the Graham name. you will be surprised.

     

     Love you with all my heart
