Heart of Gold
I met a sweet lady today
who has a heart as big
as can be.
She has a heart
of gold.
She was all and more
of what I had heard
about her.
She made me feel
so at ease, as I talked
with her.
She raised her son Dale
right, with old fashion
ideals and morals
grounded into his
soul.
She has been through
some rough and sad times
as of late, but this dear lady
still marches on,
because she has a heart
of gold that refuses to
give up and yield to defeat.
She helps others, before she
thinks of herself.
She really reminds me of my
own mother, this is why
I admire her so much, with
just one meeting I learned a
lot from this fine lady.
She gives out love just
as my own mother did,
this lady was and is my
Grandson Brandon's other Grandmother,
and now I can see where he
gets the love that sparkles
in him that he tries to give to others,
I will say one thing, I sure
am glad that I got to meet
this lady with a heart of gold.
