My Grandmother

Family

I miss her

The smile, the laugh

How when she held me

I knew it would be alright

The love she gave

The way she would care for everyone

She would cook for you

Sew for you

She grew a garden

Everything with her own two hands

She coaxed it from the rocky earth

Tomatoes, beans, lettuce

She fed her family that way

The way she learned from her farmer parents

She lived her life with the values they taught her

Be strong, be loyal, loving

And she taught it to me

Passed on her legacy

Passed on that love, that kindness

I'll always miss her

But I'll never forget her

I'll try to make her proud

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I lost my Grandmother this year to lung cancer. I think of her everyday and remember what she taught me. This was on my mind and I had to put it down for her.
