Grandmother Poem

A girl pays homage to her grandmother, always there for her, and now watching her from the heavens. She taught her to live with love, and for that she is eternally grateful.

Grandma

© Michele S. Reeves
Grandma,
A baby cradled in your arms...
Teaching me your gentle charms.
Growing up with you by my side...
Learning from you never to lie.
To understand and not judge too...
Love and kindness I also learned from you.
Through the years you watched me grow...
Teaching me everything I'd need to know.
Listening to every word I've said...
And every word I've wrote you've read.
You've been there for me to the end...
Until the day for you, God did send.
Now you watch me from up above...
Shining down on me your heavenly love.
I will miss you with all my heart...
Thank you for being there from the start.

  • I love this poem such an amazing job. My grandma is not doing so well and I want to read something at her funeral and this is so perfect. This made me cry but made me think of all the good memories I have with her.

  • In my eyes that was a beautiful poem. See I just lost my grandma August 4th 2009 to her battle of brain cancer, she was my everything, my back bone when I needed her to be. She was pretty much like the second mom. She will be greatly missed by all her grandchildren, her kids and her great grandchildren. Just like I said that was a very beautiful poem. :)

    "Listening to every word I''ve said...

    That is so perfect. Thank you!
