Granny

Being beautiful beyond that of the physical form,
by the only way she knows to exist.

Her heart and her soul and her sacrifice,
even when in shadow are devils amidst.

Still she chooses to struggle to give,
because of love from a heart truly pure.

Even through times, unfair with their lies,
this woman continues to give more.

So I love her equally with all of my heart,
and shall forever remember her deeds.

I’ll pray for you and the rest of the world,
that you may meet such a woman,
and one day be as lucky as me

What a moving tribute. You are so lucky to have a grandmother, I missed out on so much in life as I had no paternal grandparents and only a step step grandmother on my mother's side:-) hugs Jan xx

They are. A constant support and reference to reason. I agree!
