If I were my Grandma's feet,
I'd help turn her right around,
to stop the backward sliding,
gaining back forgotten ground.
If I were my Grandma's feet,
we'd dance lively in the sea,
and splash in sparkling water,
scooping up lost memory.

many pieces we would find,
a puzzle reconstructed,
to restore a broken mind.
If I were my Grandma's feet,
under trees we'd simply sway,
their names she'd now remember,
precious facts that slipped away.
If I were my Grandma's feet,
Life would always stay the same,
we'd find a peaceful pasture,
and she'd never lose my name.
