She loved me like food
I saw that in her eyes
She rocked me when she met me
she lost her pride
I'm sorry I've been so uninvested
I wish I coulda been more receptive
I just never felt truly accepted
Wish I coulda met you the first day of my life
maybe then we could have bonded
at 12
I felt dumbfounded at life
How come this makes my chest feel tight
cause you called me a few months ago
I couldn't connect to your soft spoken message
I pray that you heal
so we can build better
I thought to write you a letter
and lost my words
I know you felt what you hadn't heard
and your hands I do remember
those bingo games I treasured
those laughs we had together
the sunny weather of Columbus Ga
back home next to the prettiest fig tree
granddads corn liquer in your off white caddy
meeting me at the airport
with kisses and glee
sending me home to Philly telling me to take care of me
your number is always free
if I find a phone call your home you'll make a way back to me
I send love to your spirit
in the room that you're in I hope you hear it
I'm calling you Grandmom I hope you get it

Love it.

Love this too. You paint a beautiful picture and grabbed my attention from the first line.
