Poem
Grandma was there wiping my tears when I scraped my knee applying the "bubbly stuff" and blowing gently. She was there tearing off a piece of her helpless aloevera plant to ease the pain of my burns. A strong survivor with purpose to guide my sister and I through parents that tried. Grandma fed us, bathed us, and cleaned up after us selflessly. A strong fortress, we cling to her truth and honesty. She planted the seed of faith in our lives Praying we follow Jesus to see her in the next life. Grandma’s home is a place to relax and be ourselves Away from all worries and stress the world brings. A comforting place full of memories, laughter, and sweet ice tea. This place on Ligouri is where she Sprays the dogs with fabreeze Mops the carpet stain free, And attempts to give everything away before you leave. These memories we will cherish when thinking of you. Your legacy is hearty and your love is true. Grandma gives everything to Mallory and I, her money, her time, love to no end. She molds our outlook on life with every objection to not seeing it from the other side. And always is a rock to lean on when we must sacrifice. Grandma teaches forgiveness, humility, and selflessness everyday. Here is 100, 200, 500 dollars she says, no no no you keep it! (with a rush and a smile), I want you to have it! She has always been there for us emotionally when others turn away She is my motherly guidance she is my maternal ray. In grandmas presence at home you want to stay But life and responsibilities take you away. Grandma, I want you to know: That, when I am old and gray my life long lived, a rocking chair, grand kids, puzzles, a book to read I will remember you and pass on these memories to my grand kids so they too will learn from your displays. And when death comes knocking I hope we meet and hug with sunshine on our backs. You will know its me cause ill come running to climb in your lap.
