Poem Commentary

Corinne was a very special lady I took care of for over 10 years through home health she lived to be 103 years old and was only 3 days away form her 104 birthday when she passed away. Although her body was tired, her mind was every bit there. She was every thing to me and my girls. I wrote this poem 2 weeks before she passed away.

For you I am grateful

Sometimes you get so sad, you stay quiet
throughout the whole day.
other times you can get to talking, and have
more than enough to say.

You amaze me with your ability to be all that you are.
I don't want to see you go to be added to heavens stars.

How can I let you go and keep you here for me too.
Who will be my mother, my grandmother, and my friend
because to me all of them are you.

I see the pain and tiredness in your eyes.
And yet to be so peaceful and sound so wise.


I know that you are ready and your body is well overdue,
but without you oh my god Corinne, what will i ever do.

You have taught me so much of who i wanna be.
Tell me that some how, some way your smile i will still see.

And please pray for and watch over Kassi, Sam, and I.
I will look for a sign so don't forget to send me that butterfly.

This poem is just emotions leaking out for some reason
tonight.
I know that i will be OK when you go because the star next to my
moms will be shinning so bright.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
