Are You Still Here? Poem by Shawanda Polk

I haven't seen you in a long time
Do you miss me?
I miss you
I was so happy
My mother and father told me
I was going to see you
You were in the hospital
I guess you weren't doing very well
I was happy
I was going to see you
As I walked through the hall
Just so happy
I see my mother crying
Just looking at you
Are you asleep?
Yes, sleeping so peacefully
My mother looked at me,
She's gone!
What?
No, she can't be
Ever since then I knew I Can't
be the same
Grandma, I miss you!
I love you
