GRANDPA

*GRANDMA WAITS IN THE GARDEN* Hi, grandpa, it's me again! Your dentures sit in an open glass above the nightstand Remember the tears grandma sang before she passed? The way she looked into your eyes, Moments before she said her goodbyes Grandpa, I found a note from grandma, She waits for you. Hi grandpa, it’s me again! The rocking chair is old and dusty Remember the way grandma sat me on her lap? Read many stories before I took a nap How she enjoyed stroking my hair with her hands I miss the way she rocked me to sleep every night Hello, grandpa! I stored your hearing aid away Remember that special musical box in grandma's drawer? I opened it last night, to watch the ballerina soar I wish you could hear the tiny chimes grandma loved I hope you don’t mind, I’m keeping grandma's favorite scarf Hello, Grandpa! I'm caressing grandma’s picture frame Remember the way she looked in the yellow pretty sundress? Grandpa, I miss the things grandmother did for you Like the walking cane, she handcrafted before she left Hello, grandpa, it's me again! Here I sit holding your hand I have no more tears Soon you will see her again She will no longer be alone Say hi to her, give her a kiss Tell her I miss her so much Bye, grandpa ~*~
