"Grandmothers" - I wrote this for my grandmother
There's something special about Grandmothers
That nobody knows
A sweet little kept secret
Like kisses to your nose.
Her heart is made of gold
And filled with honey to the brim
Her eyes were specially picked
From fallen stars that never go dim.
Her spirit comes from rain
That fell from the sky
Caught in God's bucket
And poured to make her alive.
Her legs were made for dancing
And propping when she gets old
They were made from strong tree trunks
Chopped by God's axe made of gold.
Her hands were made from leather
Polished with God's tears
And become soft and papery
After so many years.
Her hair is like the finest silk
Whether it curly or straight
Pulled from God's head himself
And sewn into her scalp on her birthday.
Grandmother's are beautiful
Fashioned after the Lord
Loving, kind, and strong
Trustworthy, intelligent, and adored.
They always know right from wrong
And mend things when they break
Their words like band-aids
Healing up your emotional scrapes.
There's something special about Grandmother's
That nobody knows
A sweet little kept secret
Like kisses to your nose.
