Preparation

Cold hand in mine

Bruised and frail

Wires everywhere 

Beep Beep Beep 

Beep Beep 

Beep 

Its crowded 

I am pulled out of the room

I hear nothing but the noise is deafening 

I scream for her 

Let me see her 

Grandma

One hour goes by

Nothing 

Two hours go by 

nothing 

Tick tick tick

tick tick 

tick

There she is, looking exhausted 

but her eyes are open 

She's still with me

My world is still there

Grandma 

My light is still shining 

However my own inner light

It now shines brighter 

Because I needed to be prepared

To be left without her
