Dear Grandma and Grandpa
Dear Grandma And Grandpa,
It's me. The girl you used to know.
Is that pain or disgust on your face?
Or do I really want to know?
I guess you believed all of the lies.
I guess that's why you never write.
But you cannot tell me you forgot.
Well, you can. But I don't believe,
You forgot about us, forgot me.
Forgot about books you got me.
A million stacks beside the bed.
How you tickled me with your beard.
I pray you didn't really forget.
Am I a song stuck in your head?
Reminding you of early mornings,
Teacups, peaches and hummingbirds?
Do you ever see me by the pool,
Think of me during Jeopardy?
You can pretend I did not exist,
And take my picture off the fridge.
Forget the girl from Christmases passed.
Justify it; you can't stand her.
All I ask is just one little thing;
Send regards to the stuffed panda.
