Grandma You Are Gone

Grandma you are gone
As you died in your sleep
At the ripe old age of ninety-six
You were always so healthy
Except at the end
You helped my mom raise me
To me you were like a mom
You were never lazy
And worked so hard as a nurse
For those suffering from throat cancer
In Houston
Yes, you were a beautiful grandma
You will be dearly missed

Some like you were lucky to have a Loving Grandma for so may years. I had a Grandpa, that lived to 98! And when he was gone, golly, how my life changed. You inspired me to write a poem about him. Thank you. Panagiota Romios
