E. Granny smile

I remember standing by her bed,
not, really knowing
what was going on,
but mum was crying,
dad was looking away
and I remember grans hair
looked such a mess that day.

I looked at grans hair brush
as it fell to the floor,
full of silver locks
I remember thinking,
she won't need that anymore

I remember driving home
it was raining, so dark so cold
in the back seat of the car
gran sat with me for a while
she hushed my lips
with her pure white hands.

As the car pulled up in the drive
I watched the drops of rain
run down the window and die
Granny gave a smile to me
and whispered good bye.
