Her wish

-People come and people go.
Where do they go?She doesn't know.
She sits in her room and stares out the window
thinking how the day is so long and narrow.

-I come in and give her a plate
as she sits there and tries to remember my face
She is short with a big smile
and has a very sweet charm of grace

-But she's still confused
cause she doesn't know my name
but I come here to see her
at the same time everyday

-The women is smart
But has lost every thing
She is my grand mother
Who wishes she knows my name
wishes she could just have five minutes
to remember her family and her life
but mostly wishes she could have every thing
that was taken away and cant get back

- I come in some times
cause it makes me want to cry
she is always asking god if she could just
have her memories back.
