A Tribute To My Grandmother

A smile lit up her sunken face The years of hardship could not erase Her strong resolve, her great appeal The zest for living, could not steal Our lives were solidly entwined A part of heaven’s great design The hours that we spend involved Contributed a special role You left strong imprints on my soul And left me lessons to uphold We share so much and ‘till the end I look upon the time we spent We went to parks, we went to eat We savored all our favorite treats We watched out shows, we played some cards We went on trips, both near and far I’m glad we had our special time And that our journey was divine And now I’m left with thoughts of thee And memories I cannot see Instilled within my center They never will surrender So, thank you Grandma for what you shared ‘Cause no one could quite compare With how you treated me so kind And everything you left behind The fondest wish that I could make Is that our connection doesn’t break I hope you’re well We’ll meet again And that the distance doesn’t stain And we will find what we have shared As it was truly, truly rare
