This was written in memory of my deceased Grandmother. It is a song.

Verse 1
She was a woman strong and lively,
She had overcome her past,
With a sense of humor
And a love that would last.

I always thought her an immortal,
A soldier from her day,
Marching into the future
For all eternity!

Chorus
And she'd laugh!
How that sound would warm my heart.
Her smile would dawn,
Her eyes glittered like the stars.
She embraced the love inside of me,
She was wrapped around my heart.
There was no warmer, softer blanket
Than the arms of my grandma.

Verse 2
She sacrificed her precious time
To make me things I'd miss,
Like the warm and snuggly nightgowns
That I'd wear each Christmas Eve.

She taught me how to cook and sew,
The most practical of skills,
But she'd also let me dress up
In her clothes and her high heels.

Chorus

Verse 3
The years they passed too quickly,
I was grown and I left home.
It wasn't very long
'Till I had children of my own.

I wanted them to know her
For the goodness that she was,
I wanted them to feel the love
That I had growing up.

For - Chorus
