To My Grandma Someone who will understand, Who knows how I feel,

In every situation, her concern is very real.

Someone who has walked my way,

Who knows my every need.

Times, she would see me cry, Her heart would nearly bleed.

Everyone should have a Grandma, just like I do.

Richly blessed is what I am to have a Grandma like you.

Her smile can light a room, her presence is of grace

Her opinions are heard without a word, but by the look upon her face

Her touch is so gentle her heart is as big as the moon

Her spirit is kind-hearted and as warm as a summer afternoon

Her kisses are so soft her hugs are preferred from the rest

My Grandma is mine forever and ever and she will always be the best.

Love Always,

Stephanie
