    The poem is about a photograph of the persona's grandmother taken when the persona was young. In the photo, the grandmother appears tall, wearing a white shirt and skirt with a kind smile. The persona's small hand is held by the grandmother's large white hand. Though the grandmother has now passed away, in the photo her crinkled smile remains, showing she is still alive and breathing in that moment captured in time.
