Grandma's Presence
Found last night
in grandma's room
something bright
there in the gloom
after everyone had gone
I heard a sigh I heard a moan
It was myself
expressing grief
and anger too
at death
the thief
but still I turned to find the light
reflected back so very bright
it was a silver valentine
the heart was hers,the words
were mine
it said"you will always be ,right
here deep inside of me"
I took my heart and closed
the door
and left my sadness on her floor.
