To Me (for Gree)

Down on the floor, grandkids say Gree come on over to me
Through the stage door, Bernarda Alba, Curious George to me
Hospice MSW civil rights Chopin am remembering
By pass, good night sweet prince the loneliness dance’n’swing
Stubborn as a mule all these things they come back to me to me

5 foot force of nature, stormy temper sunny smiles say to me…
Button pushing claimed her, wonder if she ever felt it’s all Greek to me?
Courage during the worst living with so many fears travelling forward
Parents demons 30’s impressions health troubles haunting her
Both love and unhealed wounds left behind matter to me to me

Life filled with gifts though I think the grief, scars took their toll
Did someone say stubborn can’t think who’d ever ever sink so low
Said see you tomorrow ‘cause this hole in my heart is new to me to me

Down on the floor, grandkids say Gree come on over to me
