i saw the veins on your hands as you carried me to safety
I saw you slouching with your back as you waited patiently for the doctor's words
I saw you feeding me rice when I could barely say 'grandmother'
And now I'm watching you sleep on the hospital bed
I am as worried as you were when I was too sick to breathe
Your inconsistent heartbeats brought my mama to tears
But I'm still here
remembering how much you told me to stay strong
