Through the Years (In Memory of My Loving Grandmother and Her Struggle With Memory)

Hi Grandma

My sweet grandson,

the games we shall play

and the crafts we will make

as we spend our day together 

Hello again, Grandma

I remember less

as time goes by

but I know who you are

and that makes me happy 

Good to see you, Grandma

I remember your face,

but your name escapes me,

I’m sure we’ve met

I love you, Grandma

I don’t know who you are

but your eyes are pretty

and you seem nice 

You seem quiet, Grandma

Words are becoming harder,

everything is confusing,

perhaps it is best

if I don’t speak at all

I miss you, Grandma

Darkness and silence 

surround me,

perhaps now

I will be able

to remember again
