“Grandmother’s Strength”

I awoke this morn

Craving grandmother’s embrace

What would it be like

To feel her hands on my face

I imagine it feels like

A warm bath on a cold day

Worries simply melt

Then dissolve away

Fear subsides

With nowhere to hide

Head pressed to a chest

Who’s heart beats with mine

I imagine her scent

Floods me with peace

Serenity flows

As she merely holds me

If she were still here

Would she hold me dear

I only had five short years

Of her wiping my tears

Would she love me so

I’d give anything to know

Would she have loved me

As she watched me grow

Would she accept who I am

Or would she turn me away

Maybe it’s better

She was taken away

I couldn’t bear another

Keeping me at arm’s length

But oh, what I wouldn’t give

To feel my grandmother’s strength
