Please Stay With Me
She stared at the pictures and all
the memories came rushing in
She knows these faces of children
and remembers her life again
Once again she heard their laughter
like before her life fell apart
A tear of joy streaked her soft cheek
as she felt their love fill her heart
It is all the warmth she can feel
as her grandchildren hug her deep
The light on their face as they smiled
these memories she vows to keep
A light twinkles in her grey eyes.
a gentle smile slips ‘cross her face
For just a few moments she is
back in her family's embrace
The light begins to peel away,
her mind fades back to submission.
Please stay she begs, to no avail
cause her memories won't listen.
