If you leave I will Die These words spoken, nay more a yell has put my heart deeper into hell. Astonished indeed the grip held tight from grandmas weakness came mighty might.

Yet simpleton girl, granddaughter did make “No death to you, a healing you shall take”. Each day grandma’s strength vigor and glow “Run away death, this passing I shall slow”. So strolls in the park under brightly lit sun granddaughter believes this battle is won Such dependence a quick arrive now that grandmas been ordered …survive! Seems her life saved now owe I do grandma demands, switch of the shoe. Walk in my stead weary she say Bored beyond, each passing long day. Her bidding I cry “What to do ?” “Walk, chocolate? Fix my air tube too” ! Said not in grace nor thankful choir not kind to you, or nurse for hire. The walls came in on me at last must break free, these walls to blast. An avalanche of tears came down now grandma left with a terrible frown. “You break my heart ,you must not leave”. And I to her, “I must you see”. “But if you leave I know I die”. These words to me, did make me cry. Yet out the door, I did make pass Knowing soon come, my grandmas mass.
