It's All Just Sinking In

It's all just sinking in...
I want a letter so bad,
I took for granted all that I had,
I would give so much,
Just for her corn dogs at lunch,
Just to talk to her,
To cheer on her favorite race car driver,
I want to eat Betty's Baked Beans,
And her to tell me to brush my teeth please,
I want us to play Trouble together,
No one can play Solitare faster,
She gave me her bracelet with charms,
I want to be hugged in her arms,
She was my grandmother,
She'll stay in my heart always and forever,
It's all just sinking in...

This piece is inspired by the death of my grandma. It never really occured to me that I would never see her again and I wrote this a few months afterwards, when it finally hit me.
