Hold Me

you saw me when i was small
held me in the cradle of your arms

you looked at me with love in heart
and knew no bounds for the love to  start

you were the one who couched me here
who whispered heavens words in my ear

but then you took that one small light
and extinguished it with all your might

one little puff lead to many
till one day far you laid amung plenty

plenty of you who chide and scold
who die for reasons not quite cold

the little light that burned for you
slowing down to your misstepped tune

tears would fall when the message was heard
crys were utterted when the message was earned

you were the woman i saw in the light
buut a couple puffs here scuffed out its might

you were the woman i looked up to
the woman whos life seemed so intune

my grandmother in my heart and mind
yet falling away cause of mistakes from behind

you had let it go...you had changed your life..
but those little puffs came back in strike

they took your lungs, your living breath
till only cold heart in bed was left

goodbye and good luck in the heaven you told
goodbye gladys
its you i will always hold.
