It is also a good heartfelt poem. Yes the feelings of lost is in everyone of us. Our parents or grandparents, a child not with us, a million tragedy's and a loved one lost. I sorry for your lost, but remember she is with you for you will see her smile in the young ones. This is a good entry for the Child's time with a grandparent contest.

Dear Author,
Your contest entry, "My Grandma and My Mommy", is a lovely poignant poetic voice about a child's gratitude and love for her mommy and grandma. It is a wise voice with love and understanding about a mother's wish for her child to find happiness and peace after her death. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.

This is such a tragic read. How sad for the family to go through something like this. I hope everyone is doing okay after this event. It feels so inadequate to even comment on this. My sympathies to the family.

You did a great job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. However, the name on the grave gives away your name in a blind contest. I would remove it as some will know you and others will not. Your words flow smoothly with great rhymes. Your poem is great although poignant. This is a great poem to share about dealing with loss with young children. My condolences on your loss. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

This is such a common thing, I got curious and Binged it...2.7 million grandparents are raising their grandchildren in the US. The number increases every year, and the percentage of those under poverty level is about the same as the general population...excellent poem, though very sad...

A very well-written heartfelt and sad poem. A very young child who lose a parent find it very difficult to understand why their parent is not there anymore, when grandparents take the place of the parent it will help the child to adapt to life as normal as possible.

Hello - well you certainly fulfilled the demands of the prompt. You chose a very sad story of the child losing her Mommy and sharing her feelings with the grandmother. It sounded convincingly real. Well written in rhyme with the perfect photo to accompany. Well done - good luck - Regards Dorothy x

That is so sad, I am so sorry for your loss and your young granddaughter's loss. To lose your child is hard enough, but for a child to lose her mommy so young is awful. This is a sad, but well written poem for the contest. Well done and good luck. :) Sandra xxx

What a beautiful, moving--and creative--response to the prompt! Knowing it's
factual makes me appreciate the effort that went into its creation. We find strength
in relationships with those who truly understand what we've gone through.
