Your old frail hand in mine,
Teaching me how to sew,
I watch you teach me,
Explaining it nice and slow.
I watch your hands crochet,
And hear your chair creak,
Intently watching you work,
I don't even dare to speak.
I watch as you laugh,
At your America's Home Video Show,
Your face is so lit up,
A Grandmother's silent serene glow.
I watch as you go to a home,
And they offer you their care,
I see you go down hill,
Thinking how unfair.
I watch that last day,
As you didnt know where you were,
But if i could have a hero,
You would be her.
I watch as they speak a poem,
Then as they put you in the ground,
I listen to all the weaps,
All the tears that fall around.
I hold my mother's hand,
And try to be her rock,
Its funny how time passes,
Expiring our life's clock.
