Grandma

You were always so full of life
Watching you now I remember when
we would go to Macdonalds on fridays
Picking up Grandpa's checks and running around
shopping or just hanginng out
You would take me to all your dinners
Or to you art sessions with all the girls
Now here you sit, barely remembering who I am
I really miss the woman you once had been

Day after day you sit in your chair
asking me questions that you often repeat
It is hard to believe how time has passed
Grandpa's gone and you remember less
Soon you will go and I will be alone 
with your memory and the love you shared 
I miss you already and I hope you will be 
as happy as you were when I was 3
