‘99
10 years ago
10 years ago when my heart

Was torn to pieces

‘99
1st Thanksgiving without her

1st of the 1st to come

‘99
10 years of birthdays gone

10 years of wondering why

‘99
1st time I blinked and didn’t see her

1st time I wished I died

‘99
10 years of agonizing over her death

10 years of trying to accept that you’re gone

‘99
Was the first time I felt love

Was the first time I really missed you
Now is the first of realizing my children


Won’t have a Grammy
BECAUSE OF
‘99

this poem means a whole lot. my mom died in a car acciednt in 99 hence the title,these are just some of the feelings that i have expereinced with her gone. i didnt really know what went on then beacause i was so young at the time i have spent summers and summers pulling out information and really coming to the relization that she is gone.
