Grandma

Sitting in the corner of your dark room Listening as the world goes by See you in a shell of your former self Hurts me to the point of tears Sleep now Try to find some peace Fighting for strength What little you have left You seem to be off in dreamland, smiling To me it's a nightmare The family is here smiling with you Trying to hide the pain inside Days tick by The light in your eyes so hard to find I fear I am too close To a last goodbye Before that time comes There are things I need to say I hope you can hear me I can only pray You already know I love you so much I hope it shows Thank you for everything you have taught me I have learned so much I hope I am growing From your little boy To the man you have always Wanted me to be This is so hard to see In this fog I am in But it's all because Of what you mean to me I hope you know This can bring us both peace No matter where you are You will never be far You are the center peace of my heart
