To Mary

Valentines Day makes 17 years since you've been gone away When you left I was only 15 years old but Ill never forget your smile I'm going to tell you a secret 17 years after you were gone I finally learned to be strong See you were my favorite person in the world And then with the blink of an eye you were gone Never will I forget the day to day lessons and conversations Grandma you taught me right from wrong and yes ma'am an no sir to anyone who's grown Wish you were here today so I could kiss your cheek or maybe just for old times sake you tired go lay day and go to sleep I love and miss you granny thanks for everything Valentines Day makes 17 years since you passed away If it weren't for you I wouldn't be the man I am today
