Poetry Games #8: Subject - Your Grandma

 

I remember the times when I was just a little boy;
Spending the weekend with my grandma, and feeling lots of joy;
Doing things together and the joy it did bring;
Sharing many hobbies, including bird watching;
To this day I can tell you most any bird I see;
Knowing most of the kinds of birds from what she taught me;
I remember evenings with TV dinners watch TV;
Looking forward during the week the next time,
 she would be with me;
Working in the yard together and my labor she did hire;
Burning trash in the barrel, and even accidentally catching
a field on fire;
In my late teens, out of state, I did move away;
But with my time I did spend, in my heart she did stay;
Toward the end of her life she stayed in a nursing home;
I went to visit weekly, no matter where I did rome;
We connected every week, and her heart I did won;
Even when she couldn’t remember who I was and introduced
me as her son;
I had cherish every moment with her up to the day;

When I got the call she had passed away.
