Doctor Grandma

It is when I listen

to meditative music,

or open my heart in prayer,

I feel you,

I see you,

and know you are there,

your penetrating gaze,

your honesty,

your deeply blue eyes,

your thoughtful gifts,

your refusal to criticize any soul,

when they had 9 bad qualities,

you’d find the one good,

your love of your boys,

watchful care of your dogs,

your love of Tolkien

and the color blue,

your fierce independence,

your ability

to turn difficulty into opportunity,

your great big loud and joyful laugh,

your love of movies, and of the SKY,

My heart breaks again and again,

and I so miss you, till this life ends,

There’s a veil between us,

and though it is thin,

it keeps us apart

until we join again,

so I thank God for you,

on this rainy day,

and ask you not to go far away,

I go forward in your honor,

do things in your name,

I miss you, my loved one,

till I see you again.

Love,

your mom
