Today was my special day,
Today was the day for me too say 'yay',
Today was the day I turned 13,
Today was the day I got the news shouldn't have been,
Today was the day she went
Today was the day that i had a special event
Today was the day she died at 109
Today was the day I cried with tears that made me blind
Today was the day I made a wish
Today was the day I added it to the list
Today was the day I wished to live as long
Today was the day I will stay strong
Today is the day I would never forget
Today was the day I might regret
Because today was the day i turned 13
And Today was the day my great grandma died
of a long and healthy life of 109
This was and will be a never forgotten true story in my family
-In dedication to my last great-grandmother who live a long and wonderful life, may she rest in peace and may she grant us the same passage of a long life. You will be dearly missed, especially by me since you died on my birthday.
Your repetition forces the reader to contemplate how much one day can change your life. You will never forget this particular day for both of the reasons you write about.
