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
