Grandmother

grandmother speaks I listen
grandmother lectures I learn
grandmother cooks I clean
grandmother sings I dance
grandmother's buried I'm left alone
when I speak who will listen
when I lecture who will learn
when I cook who will clean
when I sing who will dance
when I am buried who will be left alone
