Grandmother
A weak hand slowly grips mine
 So cold, so feeble, but so full of love
 We share a bond like no other, her blood is mine
 and angels call her name from above
 
 May flowers once sprang on her face
 Also there were some stormy days
 but each morning she could erase
 all the overwhelming pain with gods grace
 
 Tender and of the oldest kind
 suddenly I am not blind
 from all that she hath done here
 and all that she means to me, my dear
 
 Dropping the curtain on such a strong life
 that cuts through the veil of all misery
 She wishes only the best and of this never deprived
 Never will she know how much she means to me
 
 Once given the seedling of a daughter
 then after another generation of hope
 Only did the deathly disease of depression caught her
 and aimed to fire down its narrow scope
 
 you would think that at this point in time
 she would have broken down losing her own flesh
 Why would god commit such a crime?
 But further with his soul she'll mesh
 
 Her grandson then bore a son
 and to her he was the sweetest one
 He though did not fully understand
 that he was a token after all lifes great demands
 
 Never did he grasp such love she gave
 until one day he was saying goodbye
 she grasped his hand and gave him a dry, sickly kiss
 that he would weep so freely on her grave
 and these tears of appreciation and love would never run dry
