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
