Grandma

September 11, 2010
By Taylor Springs

You raised me good
So I don’t cheat and lie
You’re gonna be here
When I fall down and cry

Someday I’ll be 64
Seems like so far away
But that’s what you thought
Yesterday

Thanks for the guidance
The fond memories
Thanks for being there for me
Yesterday, when you were 63

And tomorrow, when you’re 75
I’ll be here
When you fall down and cry

This is all I wanted to say
I love you
Thank you
And happy birthday

I was raised by my grandmother and this was her birthday poem, I wrote it in less than ten minutes!
