I seen you today

Not here  

Not on the streets

Not even in my dreams

But I did see you

I looked in my sons eyes and I seen you



It will be twenty years since we last talked

Since you last told me everything would be ok  

You'd always watch over me

I never knew what you meant



Til the day Dylon was born

He looked up at me and I seen you

Oh Grandma, will the tears ever quit

Will I ever be able to tell my children about you

And no tears will fall



Every day I look at my children and they each remind me of you

Some expression on their face

Or a silly sound

Even the way they point at me when talking



I can still see you pointing your crooked finger at me

As I stood their an argued with you that day

Had I known it'd be the last time

I would never had let them hateful words fall



Twenty years ago I was to worried about the fair

Pleaded with mom to let me go

We could stop and see you later

Then we got the news



The day we laid you beside your husband was the worse day

I just hope as you sit up there with Him and my baby

You find it in the beautiful tattered heart of yours

To forgive a selfish young girl



And know I thank God every day

I had those last five years with you

And in some way still have you with me  

As I look in Dylon's eyes

I still see you

And that crooked finger  



Forgive me Grandma...  

And know even when you thought I wasnt listening

I was

Hope I can raise my children and make you proud
