Woman with White hair

You've live a good life

You've been more than one mans wife.

You cant really speak

your bones are frail

your heart is weak.

You remain strong though

Your stronger than they think

You have trouble seeing,

but that doesnt stop you from opening your eyes.

Your so amazed at everything that goes by

Yes I have a car now

In 4 months I'll be seventeen

You'd be so proud of my dreams

I still have all the gifts you gave me

I keep everything.

Oh how time flys

But please please dont cry

I'll hold your hand if you stumble

I wont let you fall

You know I'll be here just give me a call

I'll never forget you

I wont forget you at all

You dont look to good

You dont look the same

Oh how things change

But beauty remains

Even if for now you dont remember my name.

You dont know how much I care

Im sorry I couldnt help but stare

Untill the very last day you know I'll be there

Dont give up on me

Your such a strong woman with white hair.

Like you I draw my strength from my Grandmother. When times are tough and there seems to be now way out, I remember the struggles that Grandma went through being widowed at a very young age with 8 children. I remember her ability to make everyone of her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren feel special. So when I think I can't go on I remember Grandma and realize that she gave me her greatest strength in believing that tomorrow will be better than today and that there is always hope and faith. So relish the moments that you spend with your grandma's whether by phone or in person because there will come a time when they will go forward and meet our Creator. I loved your poem because it came from your heart and that's where our most treasured thoughts and emotions are. Keep on writing beautiful sentiments.
