The end of September
We are going to see grandma
My last living grandparent

She has not been in the best of health
She has Pulmanary Fibrosis
And doesn't have long to live

She has lived 83 great years
I used to write her
But I got out of the habit
Now I regret it

But at least I get to see her
One last time in September
I will miss her
But I remember
All the good times

Back in 1997 we took her
To Niagra Falls, Canada for 2 nights
I slept in a cot
Next to her bed
Now I know where my Dad inherited his snoring from

I loved when she would come to Florida to visit
It was a blast
But when her lungs started to act up
Those visits were long in the past

I remember the gifts she got me
But I was like
Grandma you really didn't have to
But I guess that was to show
She loved me

But when Grandma is gone
She will be sorely missed
By everybody
In our family

Cold hands means a warm heart

Well, look at the bright side - you still have me.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
