Flowers I would pick her
she'd place them in a cup
look down at me and smile
with such a loving touch.

Taught me how to tie my shoes,
rocked me in a chair
put band*aids on my boo boos
pigtails in my hair...
for me my Grammie was always there.

Oatmeal cookies she would bake
puddings,pies,fudge,& cakes
the smells in her kitchen
I could hardly wait !

Christmas time was special too
lots of food and family
gathered round the prettiest tree
reached the ceiling far as I could see
one at a time... that was the way
we would pass 'round gifts,good gosh
...nearly took all day !

She loved honeysuckle and roses...
I remember quiet well
very fond of a necklace,made from egg shell
on her nightstand it layed
...for my brother had it made !

She loved to read books ( Harlequin ) of coarse
played cards and games and watched T.V
Lawrencwe Welk was a favorite of hers and me.

The time it passed and I grew fast
so off I went... then a family of my own
and oh how at times I longed to be home !

The years flew by and nature had its way...
and now forever more
... in my heart she'll stay !
