Grandma, I sure miss the way<\/p>\n
you\u2019d tell me stories every day<\/p>\n
and cook me dinner without delay<\/p>\n
when deciding to prolong my stay.<\/p>\n
At thanksgiving, always such a treat<\/p>\n
is where the family\u2019d yearly meet<\/p>\n
for turkey, ham and tasty sweets<\/p>\n
and then a tournament, cards they be<\/p>\n
pinochle winner, a trophy get ye<\/p>\n
let\u2019s not forget the rivalry<\/p>\n
watching Cowboys\/Eagles on TV<\/p>\n
what is best, the love we give<\/p>\n
hugs and kisses when we leave.<\/p>\n
Any time we needed her<\/p>\n
the house was open, and with care<\/p>\n
she\u2019d talk to us or leave us be<\/p>\n
and things would soon be alrighty.<\/p>\n
Dear Grandmom, used to be such fun<\/p>\n
Tall Pines camping, in shade and sun<\/p>\n
yummy casseroles, and pies galore<\/p>\n
a campfire and some yummy s\u2019mores<\/p>\n
swimming in the campground pond<\/p>\n
and watching fireworks at day\u2019s end.<\/p>\n
Most of all, we loved the way<\/p>\n
you taught us how to live and pray<\/p>\n
the church is where you\u2019d always be<\/p>\n
and followed your example we<\/p>\n
so then could live eternally<\/p>\n
and meet you again, heavenly.<\/p>\n
