Grandma Is Gone
At church I ask the priest for absolution,
and I am ready for any atonement and Penance;
I Quiver thinking of it- for I am angry,
oh, so angry with God for taking my grandma away.
Last night I had a dream or at least I think it was,
it is a Quandary really because it felt so real;
for standing so Poise and elegant was grandma,
with her beautiful Platinum pearly, snowy hair.
I recognized her fragrant Perfume at once,
we were standing in a whimsical Quaint place;
it felt strange to me that a boat was waiting.
in a Quay and grandma stepped aboard it.
No words were spoken as she waved goodbye,
and I watched the boat fading into the distance;
till grandma was gone . . .
