Light penetrates my awareness
as the thought lifts my eyes.
Someone watches me. Someone
stands close to my bed, she
waits for me to waken. I comply.
Awareness fills my morning,
as perception changes again.
She smiles and her blue-eyed
intensity draws me into a world
that sorrow has left. I smile.
Morning rises with optimism
as she curls into my arms.
She says, "Jiddi." I understand
our homeland-tongue's word of love.
It says, "Granmpa". And I live.
