My Grandma – A poem for Mutti – By Camila

It’s been six months since Mutti passed away. There are no words to express how much we miss her. Words fail me but I’m happy that Camila, despite her sadness, is able to create beautiful imageries, poetic art for her Omi.

My Grandma – by Camila – March 10, 2010

My grandma was here but now she is up there, up in the sky.
I don’t know where.
Every night I look in the sky and wonder which star she is on
and some times you think the stars are gone but they are really not.
It’s just the clouds that are on top.

I wish, I wish with all my heart
that one day I will find that star.

O dear o dear if I found the brightest star, up, up in the dark sky
o I wish I could find that star

Every night when we went to bed she would come in our room
and sing us a song in German.

Well, I guess it is time to go and say good bye.
Good night, sleep tight best grandma.
