Grandma's Disguise

Imogen Rayne AAB BSCOM
I want to honor her with this poem today,
Since, she loved me in her own special way.
She didn't receive an award for taking care of us,
However, she never complained or made a fuss.

Never did she get angry or begin to swear,
Whenever, I need her, she was always there.
Because, she never once asked to be free,
My grandma will always be precious to me.

For I counted on her, more than a grandchild should,
But, she never walked away, even though she could.
My grandma is a woman that is simple and true,
Her advice was helpful and needed as I grew.

We have a special bond that can't be erased,
Yet, she always excelled throughout all she faced.
No one can take away that bond we made,
For our bond is strong and will not fade.

As a grandma, she did her part to help me fly,
Now, one day I will have to say good-bye.
Before she does, I want her to tell her one thing,
I know she is an angel, who has golden wings.

    Great job Crystal, I love this poem. I never had the blessing of knowing my grandparents as they died when I was very young. I love this poem.

    This poem is a really lovely tribute to your grandma. So beautiful! I'm sorry to know your grandparents are not there for you anymore. My grandparents has passed away long long time ago, not much to remember. But reading your poem made me missing my grandmother again. Well done Imogen! :-)
