At birth the cord was severed, though our hearts stayed connected,
    I’ve seen more beauty in your heart the more I have reflected. 

You quilted a Peter Rabbit blanket to keep me warm after birth,
    swaddled me with adoration, for I gave you much self worth.

Toddler days came, and Kindergarten days were swiftly gone,
    remember the first time I sang my abc’s? It was always my favorite song!

About the time I was in fifth grade you taught me to be a young lady,
    for I am your fourth child and will always be your sweet baby.

By the time I was a teen you had taught me my good manners,
    the older I became you had faith in me that I’d keep good standards.

Off to college I flew and you allowed me to spread my wings,
    I never forgot how you taught me to sway on the playground swings.

You sent me off to be married with a twinkled tear in your eye,
    the hardest thing you had to do, was to your daughter, say goodbye.

During my mid-twenties I welcomed a baby girl just like you had before,
    I learned how to be a good mother from you, all the love I had in store.

So today here you are, a wonderful gramma to your grandchildren,
    just like you were with all of your wonderful grown-up children.

Your warmth and tenderness have become my greatest qualities,
    I can only pray my daughter too, will grow up to follow me.

I thank the Lord for your wisdom and faith in my decisions,
    may I keep being the woman I am learning from your precision.

Your footsteps I have ensued will always be my greatest treasure,
    thank you for filling up my cup and showing me life’s pleasures.
