Notes About The Poem

NOTES: I'm very aware it's all in caps. Poetry is never right, it's always never wrong. My way of saying no to the Globalist and NWO.  This poem is a tribute to all the Grand Parents who see themselves in their Grand kids. It's what makes Granny Love us that much more. Taking Granny's advice opened doors and kept me out of trouble.

Granny's Plan

GRANNY HAD A WAY WITH WORDS,
THAT HELPED ME UNDERSTAND.
REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR THINKING CAP,
INTELLIGENCE IS IN DEMAND.

SAY YOUR PRAYERS EVERY DAY AND ALWAYS,
KEEP THE LORD BY YOUR SIDE.
WHEN OPENING THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY,
MAKE SURE YOU OPEN WIDE.

YOU'RE GOING TO TRAVEL,
THROUGH TIME IN LIFE.
YOUR TONGUE NEED NOT,
BE AS SHARP AS A KNIFE

A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED.
NOW, THAT ONE WAS A WINNER.
ALL THE PENNIES I PUT TOGETHER,
BOUGHT MORE THAN JUST A DINNER.

A STITCH IN TIME WILL SAVE NINE.
KEEP THAT ONE IN MIND.
KNOW THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR,
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL FIND.

OPEN UP YOUR EARS.
OPEN UP YOUR EYES.
OPEN UP YOUR MIND,
IN TIME YOU WILL BE WISE.

EVERY DAY YOU GO THROUGH LIFE,
THERE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW.
LIFE IS NOT A RERUN,
IT'S YOUR LONGEST RUNNING SHOW.

WE MAY FALL FROM TIME TO TIME .
LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS BLISS.
PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT,
ONE DAY YOUR GOING TO NEED THIS.

I'M JUST LOOKING BACK IN TIME,
TO SEE WHERE I AM GOING.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GRANNY MEANT,
MEANS I CAN GO FORWARD KNOWING.
