Grandma (Muzzy)

Cream cheese and olives,
a little mayonnaise
and white bread.

Just like my grandma
used to make.

What does it take to get you back to
a place where you've been?

Is it a holy fire
or a peace within?

Why do I long for what I cannot have,
buy, or take?

My only request is of a lesser virtue.
Love, no matter what the cost,
the case, or issue.

It's a high price to take
this heart upon the cross.

Will you free me?
Save me that way?
That's all I have to pray.
