TO GRANDMA WITH LOVE;

You taught us that all things came from Above,

From our Lord and Savior

Each and every good behavior

You were strong and passionate in everything

You were a great teacher with heart and hands,

You made things bloom, beyond even the Spring

You loved with all your heart like God commands

You taught songs and music about our Lord

You gave with all that you could and more

You taught by example, many Scriptures of word

You were adventurous and liked to explore

You decorated with flowers, glass such

Pretty things that we could lightly touch

We loved how your eyes would light up

When we came into a room you were in

The stories of all kinds, including the pup

The farms, the animals, the plants, the kin

The candy, the cookies, the kisses, the art

Your loving arms from the very start

Thank you God, for sending this Grandma

To share with us as long as you did.
PShe was an awesome women in so many ways.
