Poem
Happy Birthday Grandma, we are celebrating another year You may not know it’s your birthday, but we do and we cheer We get to spend some more valuable time before the dreaded day draws near A truly inspirational woman that forever I will hold dear. You may not know our names or what you mean to us And if you could communicate you would tell us not to make a fuss You have always put everyone else first, without a thought for yourself Joining in with all the silliness and even dressing as an elf All the costume making and carnivals raising money for charity And all the happy memories I can still see with clarity I hope they never fade away as I become aging too It’s so cruel Grandma what Alzheimer’s has done to you An extremely clever lady, who never gave up learning Joining the U3A, for that knowledge you never ceased yearning. Reminiscing about the games we played, in particular Blackfeet And all your special “shortcuts” as you’d walk with us round the street. You’ve taught me the kind of woman I would like to be The reason that I went onto study and complete my degree Although my first ever career option was to be retired like you It seemed a splendid option, which I hope one day I will enjoy too Spending time with grandchildren, canal side walks we would take Sitting around your fishpond and all the activities in which we would partake Teaching us about nature, plants and generally helping us to learn The cookery lessons you gave me too, although food I still tend to burn The times tables tapes that were continually on repeat and dressing up with material, inventing new outfits with just a sheet The endless fashion shows you put up with, and the enthusiasm you did show There will never be any kind of doubt how much you helped us grow. So thank you Grandma for everything, I hope you have a special day a wonderful woman, who forever in everyone’s hearts will stay. Happy Birthday Grandma!
