Grandma's Love
10 September, 2001
Author: Michael Finley
I'll never forget the day I fell in love with someone,
whom I still to this day,
love very much.
She reminds me of a beautiful white dove,
that will always be by my side.
We had so much fun together although we were so many years apart.
But that didn't matter, She was always there.
I cared about her dearly,
and I loved her so much.
She meant the world to me.
We had a bond that I have never shared with anyone.
A bond like I have never shared with anyone.
Sometimes we would even cry,
but it was only because we had each other.
If it was a boring day,
she made it fun.
If it was a cloudy day,
she would make my sunshine.
If it was a cold day,
she would make my heart warm.
If my heart was broken because of a boy,
she would pick me up like an angel,
and tell me it would be better,to just wait and see.
God I loved her, can't you see.
She meant so much to me.
I wish you all could have known her,the way that I have known her.
you see, she also had her heart broken.
She also had her cloudy days.
Sad to say it but she did.
See she has died with cancer.
But even though, my grandma was still the loving person, I wish you all could have known.
Maybe if when you go to heaven, you can say hi and you heard of her.
I know she will make you smile and be happy.
Because to know her, is to know a piece of heaven.
