Lost

a quiet thought
a simple phrase
a joking remark

gone in the blink of an eye

an old face
a young face
or a familiar face

never seen the same again

a history of
laughs
tears
smiles
frowns
love
and of care

a lifelong companion
forever a friend
my precious grandmother

but when she says
"who are you"
I know that she will be
forever lost
