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.

"Grandmothers" - I wrote this for my grandmother
