| Where Are You? Where did you go When I needed you the most I looked all around Until I met Dove I asked her where Where is she? She shook her head She said "I don't know Come fly with me" But I had to find you I looked further Until I met Buffalo So strong and proud I asked him where Where is she? He too shook his head "I have no idea Come run with me," he said Still I had to find you Finally I came to Eagle The wisest of them all With tears in my eyes I approached him He asked "Why are you crying?" "I can't find my grandmother," I said He looked at me and smiled "It's alright, don't cry. Your grandmother is here." "Where?" "Where nothing can harm her And no tears fall from her eyes Just look to the sky And say a little prayer If you love her so much She'll be there" By Larry Francisco Dedicated to my Grandmother Christina Owens This poem orignally was about a lover but when I started putting animals in it I realized that I was writing about my grandma. I quickly jotted down some more lines and when i had some free time I finished it. When I showed my friends they started to cry and told me it was beautiful. Everyone liked the idea of the animals and so I kept it. I always like to think that she watches me right up there with GOD and is helping me. |
