Sing To Me, Grandma

Sing to me, Grandma.
Sing soft and low.
Sing to me, Grandma,
The sweetest song you know.

"Amazing Grace" -
How sweet that sound.
"How Great Thou Art" -
Forever resound.

Say "Rise and shine.
If you can't shine, just rise."
"Can I lay here and shine?"
Will be my reply.

Hug me tight.
Say, "I love you."
Laughing and singing,
Say, "There's work to do."

Tell me a story,
I really do listen,
As we wash the dishes
And cook in the kitchen.

I rub your back.
I cut your hair.
I tell you "Thank you
For always being there."

Tell me of Jesus
And the love you've known.
Sing to me, Grandma,
So I’ll know I'm home.

Pretty good, but again, sad for me.
