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
