Never Stop

-Didn't take the picture.-

So Small and Fading Fast

I feel so small.
Like I'm withering away.
Soon to disappear for good.
I wonder if I was ever here at all.

Am I the dust you'll shake off?
You only notice when I linger too long.
When I float away.
Will you remember I was ever there?

I'm the dew that hides in the shadows.
I know I must evaporate and leave.
The sun is high and I no longer belong.
Still I cling to my existence.

Even if the shadows are a lonely place.
And no one sees me here.
I hold onto the hope that you'll remember me.
You'll notice my absence and come looking.

But will I be able to be found?

Grandma

Grandma, I miss you.

I miss sending you cards and letters.

Telling you all my little hopes and dreams.

I miss your advice.

I miss seeing that smile that you always gave away so easily.

The way you filled the air with your laughter.

I miss having you in my corner.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if you were still here.

Could I still make you smile?

Could you help me understand her?

Fill in the piece of the puzzle that I’m missing.

Would you be the glue that could keep us together?
