To My Grandma

I love the way you always make everyone feel loved, The way you make me feel like you really do care, The way you change something really bad into something really good, The way you have kept your head up and have stayed strong, The attitude that everyone is good, The warm hugs you give, The caring, wild, loving, loud, selfless human you are. But I hate the demon that has infected your body, The poison that enters your port and then your veins, making you lose the hair on top of your head. That gross sick feeling for days, The loss of all that wild and fun energy I’m used to. But I love how you have kept your head up, The strength that you have shown, How brave you have been, And the way you always make everyone feel loved no matter what you are going through. I can't wait for the days when all that wild and fun energy comes back. I can't wait for those gross sick days to be a distant memory The day your hair starts to grow back The day when the demon has completely vanished, and you are free of its poison.
