From Grandma
As your mommy reads these lines to you
Take in every single word
For knowledge is our only tool
To be part of this big world
And as you learn to read yourself
You’ll see how much we cared
For you to educate yourself
To succeed and not be scared
Mommy and I feel
That education is the way
That you must, with, always deal
And satisfaction will appear at the end of every day
So go on and become yourself
And don’t allow anyone to bring you down
Because with education you will have
A wealth of knowledge, mind and sound
My love for you will always be
And there for you I will be too
But with literacy you can travel
And monumental things you’ll see
With all my love and tenderness
This poem is from me to you
And it will bring togetherness
Between you and mommy and me too
