A Reindeer Named Cancer

my grandma was hit too
and now it's been ten years of
Christmas without her

i try and do the things that remind of her
play Christmas songs
eat green bean casserole
mention Jesus a few times
whether i'm a believer or
not

i do it for my grandma
to help keep her around in some way
but i do know she's gone
and the saddest thing
about someone being gone
after ten years
is you start to feel used to them not being there
