I wrote this 2 months before I was going to visit my great Grandma Velma in Kansas for Christmas. I dedicate this poem to her even know she was never able to read it. I wrote this in my hopes that she would have strength because she was battling a terrible lung disorder. Also, her husband died several years ago. Unfortunatley, I have only got the chance to meet her twice due to distance. Velma has always been there for my Dad and our family. She wanted the best for us. Velna managed to live 87 years to the fullest. She passed two days after we left Kansas.

We love you grandma Velma.
Thank you for your support and advice.
