My Grandmother

What does it mean

To be a GRANDMOTHER?

What does it mean

To make a sacrifice?

 

She took me in

At the tender age of NINE.

She fed me

And clothed me.

 

She made sure that

I was doing well at school.

She made sure that

My brothers and I got along.

 

She took me to the

Department store-

To pick out my

First training bra.

 

She was the very

Center of my life-my universe

My brothers lives-

For a time-for all time.

 

When I got the news

That her time

Had drawn near-

I remember her calling me “dear.”

 

Endearing words I have for her.

Endearing words we need to hear.

Because she is a grandmother

To us all-and our mother.

 

Taking us in-

Making sure that

We get along with

Our siblings.

 

- Loving us for the rest of time -
