Goodness Grandma

Goodness Grandma, how the time has flown so very fast

Fond memories held dear to you, such a treasured past

Challenges and hardships you’ve endured while on the way

Molding you into the gem you truly are today

Your life has not been easy, and at times, unfairly rough

But you have done your best to shine and show that you are tough

Even still, when changes come, you try to wear a smile

You look for silver linings as we sit and talk awhile

Your words of wisdom you have shared, I hold close to my heart

In my life you’ve always played an influential part

From all those talents you possess, to love you have for me

You’re such a good example of what I’d like to try to be

As I ponder on my times with you and moments we have shared

The thing I will remember most is knowing that you’ve cared

So even as we both age on, continuing our quest

Goodness Grandma, I must say, as my grandma, you’re the best
