Two Months Left.

If I could send a valentine to anyone, I would send one to my grandma. She's been through a lot in the past year, having almost lost her life in a terrible accident. Fortunately, she survived and made a miraculous recovery. I haven't seen her in about two years now and I miss her terribly. Other than my dad, shes probably my best friend in the family.  Furthermore, due to the time difference between Canada and Taiwan, its extremely difficult to call her up for a real conversation. Because of this, I feel like my heart has saved up a million messages for her! So what better day to express all my appreciation and love for her than St. Valentines Day! I have written her a poem as she loves poetry. She would read me poems instead of story books as a kid! If I wanted to listen to a fairytale before bed, I remember having to ask my mom! 
Anyways, this one's for you grandma! I love you. 


Its St.Valentine's today
And I hate how you're so far away.
I know I talked to you on the phone,
And though my voice has never shown 
Any sign of grief or sadness,
I can't help but miss you to the point of madness.

Daddy says you're completely recovered 
And that you're okay,
But I can't help but worry and pray
Until I see you smiling 
As you get off that airplane.

I heard that your new self glows;
That your hair is white
And bright
Like an angel's halo.

But though you had to change,
Nothing will change you as my hero.
You have made it to the hardest stage 
In life and you lived without any sorrow. 

I can't wait to see you two months from today,
When you finally come to Canada! Hurray!
I've long waited to give you a hug
And give you your hand-made mug 
That Ryan and I made last Saturday.

Grandma, I don't say this enough 
But I love you so much! 
Thank you for all that you've done, 
Happy Valentines Day.
