Your memory is like a dream
Faded by the years
And yet your memory is powerful enough
To still bring me to tears
You were the only one who cared about me
The only one in my whole family
I remember you saying
I could tell you anything
But soon enough you were in the home
The disease taking over your brain
I had been through tons
And I knew pain
But that was worse than anything
Two years you kept breathing
Living but not alive
Those were two of my hardest years
Having to watch you die
Your life slipped away before my eyes
And the rest of my sanity left
Before I could realize
The grief I felt when you died
Was more than I could handle
You were the only one that kept me alive
Wanting to live
At least until you were gone
Because you had been there for me
And I couldn’t leave you there
To die all alone
Grandma you meant the world to me
And you still do
I just wish I could be reunited with you
Someday soon…
