All my life I have been a big dreamer and a big storyteller,
my mom said, I had i m a g i n a t i o n.
Just like my sweet grandma, gosh she was a great story weaver,
at first, tales in my mind were u n w r i t t e n .
I would watch her face and all the expressions within her voice,
soon with storytelling- I was b i t t e n.
She created wonderful characters and scenes with words that rejoice,
and because of my grandma this was gift g i v e n .
But, oddly nothing was ever, ever written on paper- no pen dripped,
but on paper "my" words have f a l l e n .
All her stories existed in her mind and she stored carefully each script,
one night my grandma went into h e a v e n .
And when she died at ninety-four sadly she could not speak a single word,
and I told her "life" story by her c o f f i n .
