    The poem is a reflection on fond memories the author has of their grandmother. It recalls how the grandmother would make pies, take the author to the slides despite their fear of heights, teach them to be wise and not cry, sing lullabies at night, and argue with the author though she always fought for them. The author expresses regret that they cannot apologize for their past arguments and wishes their grandmother was still alive to be by their side.

    ELEGY TO MY GRANDMA

    I wake up and see the sun smiles,


    I go down, smell my favorite pies.
    I enjoyed it from every slice,
    You looked at me with shining eyes.

    After, you bring me to the slides,


    Even I am afraid of heights.
    You taught me that I should be wise,
    And be the girl that never cries.

    Every night you remind me twice,


    To pray before shutting the lights.
    You sing what I heard in church choirs,
    It makes me sleep repeated times.

    Growing up we had our fights,


    I always think about my rights.
    You're angry and your voice would rise,
    I answer back with mostly lies.

    Wish I could apologize,


    If only you were still alive.
    I'm a bit late to realize,
    Already gone when I arrived.

    All I can do is agonize,


    Remember the days that were nice.
    You're my grandma who always fights,
    But now you can't be by my side.
