Grandmother

Who, then, can be as great as grandmother? I cannot begin to describe how I Admire her and all the things she does. Loving mother of two generations She raised me with as much love as she be- stowed upon my father and his siblings. With a strength more immense than I can know She uprooted herself for a better Life and for greater opportunities For my brother and I. Long hours and Little pay, she works hard to make ends meet. When she is gone, her beaming face will live on in my memory. I'll remember Van Halen singing on the radio And grandma, singing along, telling me All of life's most important secrets. I'll remember her at my track meets, cheering me on, whether I won or lost, loving me just the same either way. I'll always remember her holding my hand, making sure I had someone to lean on. When she is gone, I will remember her singing because in those moments, she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. A person of grace, beauty, and of love. Who, then, can be as great as grandmother?
