Memory

There once was a memory
who helped build an empire of love
It travelled far
With no riches, only in heart
This memory became one of all
Created beautiful hearts
Stubborn minds
Passionate beings
Such a beautiful memory
to hold a love so true
Only God could grant such power
True love which battled often
and won
Sparkling memories
This is what people yearn for
A lifetime to gasp at
For its beauty is so grand
One will not believe it real
I love this memory
from a woman so untouchable
No illness can steal
You may have her memory in chains
But it is forever ours
She will break free from your grip
This memory will come back
Cancerous creatures may
have it hostage
Oh but I feel her
Beautiful memory
You can hear me
I'm waiting for you
Grab my hand
I'll rescue you with
the many, many memories
you have blessed me with
For I remember it all
Your youth, your beauty, your love
Your everything
I'll rescue you with my memories of you
Capture this lifejacket of memories
Wrap it around so tight
I know you feel the familiar grasp
You see yourself in my eyes
I'm here to rescue you
With all my powerful memories of us
Never let go of me, Grandma
