I remember…
I remember climbing the tangerine tree in your backyard,
I remember the bamboo across your fence,
I remember walking in everyday to say “hi Grandma!”
I remember your face it was as sweet as ice-cream in August,
I remember the night i came home and mom said those words.
I remember “grandmas’ in the hospital,”
Those words that pierced into my heart like the needle that pierced my ears,
I remember the waiting room with the family,
I remember not being able to say goodbye or that I love you,
What I remember most is the last time I saw your smile.
