5:18 P.M.
Grandma says I�m beautiful
She�s found the light inside
Her tone usually sounds resentful
But today she�s on my side
Grandma says I�m lucky
Lucky that my father's still around
She likes to see me giddy
After each discovery I have found
Grandma says I�m petite
So small and frail
So incomplete
With skin that was once so pale
Grandma says I�m smart
She admires my strong will
My naive, simple, heart
Compliments the emptiness I usually feel
Grandma likes my smile
But notices that lately I�ve been sad
She hasn�t seen me around in a while
And sometimes it makes her mad
Grandma says I�ve grown
And that I should find myself a man
So much she�s never known
Tells her that I still can
Grandma says I�m unique
And �single� comes and goes
Kids used to call me a freak
Looking at me today, you'd never know
I love my grandma
With my heart and soul
Squishy like a panda
I never want to let her go
She�s aging every day
The doctors have little to report
Say everything you have to say
Because tomorrow isn't guaranteed, and life is too damn short
