Through My Fear

Oh granny gran...I'm here, I'm here I held you so close, even through my fear You're so cold...please open your eyes Just once again..see sunny blue skies Paper white skin, against my rough calloused hand Each breath slips away, like hourglass sand Sirens screem, but you can't speak You tremble...my knees are weak God granted us these precious days To laugh again..and be amazed.. And say I love you, although you know Through my fear, my love will show *hello everyone.sorry I've not been able to read all your wonderful poems and comment lately... I found my Mother In Law in a diabetic coma a few days ago..unresponsive...almost lost her.... Been caring for her a lot...she is almost 91....hope to be back among the fun real soon..:-) :-)

she is so fortunate that you found her. You must be like Ruth in the Bible. I am not a fan of my own mother in law!! This is very nice. I hope she gets better.

I can relate to this - I have a mild case of diabetes. I also liked the line about being "amazed". Peace & Love Matthew Anish
