Beautiful Enough To Frame

Grandmother

Her time now is limited

Her breath continuously shortened

Her memories of her prime

Are decreasing with time

She does not need a miracle

For she has had her fair share

What she needs now is rest

Of that we are aware

And it kills me seeing her like this

For I knew of someone stronger

Someone who would pick me up from school

Someone who would keep me

From acting like a fool

But now she's being stripped of everything

That made her who she was

All that is left is an empty body

Unfairly and just because

Oh Lord please do show mercy

Let her reach her peak

Because this world is now too much for her

It hurts her just to think

I know this will hurt us all

More than we can imagine

But in the end, it will be us on the floor

And her the one left standing
