April 30
I did not know you when you were young
And yet, I can picture it now
An innocent girl with eyes of wonder
Lips a perpetual smile.
I did not know you as a wife
After marrying your true love
The many adventures you had together
The gifts from God above.
I did not know you as a mother
Raising your children well
Giving them so much of yourself
Raising them up when they fell.
I knew you as a grandmother
Doting, loving, and kind
It was time for them to take care of you
You'll always be on their minds.
I got to see you as a great-grammy
Holding a baby in your arms
He will be raised with your teachings
To keep his soul from harm.
You've been there for your family
Always putting them first
Looking for the good in all
Making the best of the worst.
You'll always be remembered, Grammy
You will always be loved
Someday we will meet again
At the great feast prepared above.
