A Countdown poem dedicated to a missing granddaughter.
Memories of Meena

Dark curls bounce in abandoned joy as she
Ran to greet me, crying “Gran, my gran!”
Excited to see me as if
Forever passed since a hug.
Now too many years have,
Too many tears flowed
With her away.
Please come home,
Meena
Love.
