The last days of May
Drift by in summer sunlight
In a cloudburst that drums on the roof
The last days of May
Splash across diamond spangled skies
Slip by in feather soft foggy mornings
The last days of May
Looking without knowing
Into the eyes of her family
The last days of May
Lost in the past
Gone between one breath and the next
The last days of May


I miss you Grandma
