Grandmother

Your bright eyes of old

A story to be told

Containing memories of youth

With some embellished truth

You have been strong

For so very long

A life of perfection

With unchanged direction

Your words guide me well

In all that you tell

But no answers for sale

Allowing me to fail

So I may learn

From you in turn

To remember what I do

And pass it onto someone new
