Untitled (One Night, Grandfather)

Poems That's Weird, Grandma

One night I laid in my bed
Sometimes I felt like I was dead
Then I went inside my brain
I also felt like I had something to gain
But the next thing I knew, I was
Sitting on my grandfather’s lap
I saw him wearing a red cap
I told him I missed him much
Then he said. “Sorry”, touching my head
Just one touch
I asked what have you been doing?
Just wishing you were here.
I looked at him
I was feeling my dream dim
I woke up like a dart
Feeling he was in my heart.  *********
