Misunderstood
Once
Grandmother rubbed her back and listened to all her
Little woes
Like how
Her big boy cousins
Stepped on all her dolly's toes
Once
Grandmother guided little girl
Through the hazards and pain of the great wide world
Like how
To make too straight hair
Look perfect curled
Once
Grandmother lived right downstairs
Waiting with open arms and a heart that cared
Now
Grandmother in Heaven
Waiting for her little girl and little girl is all grown up and scared.
