Grandma

"A grandma is someone who plays a special part in all the treasured memories we hold within our heart." - Unknown My grandma used to sing aloud With a sweet voice, she was endowed Clapping her hands, she used to praise With a loud voice, praying always My grandma used to smile a lot I remember her on her cot She loved to eat bananas ripe And chocolates of any type My grandma used to love us all She loved to give us presents small Sometimes toffee, sometimes money She was the sweetest and funny My grandma loved my dad so much She had the softest wrinkled touch She had a memory so sharp Spreading God's love, she was His harp My grandma is in heaven now No more pain or a troubled brow Someday soon, I will meet her there What a hope! Such joy we will share!
