Dialogue Poem: My life with you will never be long enough

By Rilee AreyPublished 2 years ago • Updated about a month ago • 2 min read

Grandma, can I go to church and sit in the big room with you?

Of course, I would love for you to be there too!

Grandma, do I get Skittles if I let you cut my hair?

Always, but you need to sit still dear!

Grandma, can you be a part of my Halloween-themed birthday party?

I wouldn't miss it, I have my witch nose, costume, and glass ball on standby!

Grandma, I came here after school to play cards with you!

I know! Will you grab the cards in the drawers, the cookies are just coming out of the oven!

Grandma, I'm stuck at school with nothing to eat!

I will bring your favorite, a sandwich, and a rootbeer,

Grandma, will you accept this rose? *Me standing in front of my entire high school hands shaking, honoring a person who is our role model*

I would be honored! - we both blacked out in this moment.

Grandma, will you go on my college tour with me in Arizona?

I would love to see where you will be living!

Grandma, how do I stop loving him?

Time will tell you, my love!

Grandma, Can you add this painting of your old house to my list of what I will get when you are gone?

Yes, nobody has claimed that yet, I will write your name on the back of it.

Grandma, I brought you your favorite donuts while I was out today!

Awe Thank you so much, you always think about me!

Grandma, I wish I didn't live so far away from you!

I know, but we will visit each other!

Grandma, Can I read you my new poem?

Dear, you are so talented, I will always listen!

Grandma, I know I have been telling you that you're old for years now,

Yes, you have!

But you are one of the most strong, graceful, beautiful, and caring people I have ever known!

I am glad you think so!

Grandma, Thank you for always listening to me!

I always will, you are so special!

Grandma, What am I going to do without you? ~Thoughts to myself~

.....

Grandma, I love you so much!

I love you too dear.

Grandma?

Yes?

I miss you!

I miss you too dear.
