1. There Once Was An Old Woman
There once was a woman
Who grew old with time.
She bore her life story
In the curve of her spine.
A grandmother's job never ends. Many grandmothers in our society step in to raise children when their mother is unavailable. Even in the best of situations, having a grandmother to help with child raising and to provide a softer touch is often a welcome intrusion. The other side of the issue is that grandmothers have to realize when it is time to step back and keep their mouths shut. If there is a healthy father and mother, they are the ones with the final say in how to raise their children.
There once was a woman
Who grew old with time.
She bore her life story
In the curve of her spine.

Are there guardian angels?
I believe so
For God gave me a beautiful lady
to help watch me grow
I love my grandmother. My mother left me within six months after I was born and my father died in an accident. My mother never looked back. My grandmother was the one who raised me up till...
Grandmothers are the very best,
In many more ways than one.
They dance, they sing,
They laugh, they play.
How lucky am I
To have you by my side
Your love shines through
In all that you do
A heart so golden and true
No matter what, she will always be here for you.
Through rain or snow, her love for you will always show.
I do believe God created her different from the rest.
If Grandma had a meaning
I'll tell you what it'd be
if you were close to yours
like mine was close to me
My Grandmother has been one of the most important people in my life and such a great influence to me always, and she passed away about a month ago. I still can't stop mourning the loss. But...
I find such a comfort
In my Granny's lap.
I snuggle and lie there
As I take my nap.
My grandma was special in every way,
She made me smile every day.
And she was always there for me,
Especially in my time of need.
This is the most painful day for me. When my grandma left me I was so lonely. December 25 is the day she died. My grandma was my best friend. She always supported me. Whatever I learned today...
Her smile can light up a room
Her presence is of grace
Her opinions are heard without one word
but by the look upon her face
This is everything that my grandmother had done for me until she deid from cancer but all I know is when my kids have their own. I will be just like her because she showed me how to be the...
There are moments in life when you miss someone
So much, you just want to pluck them from
Your dreams and hug them for real.
Grandma, I was thinking of you today and a smile tickled my face.
Remembering all the things you taught me, like always to say grace.
I remember sitting in your lap while you read the Bible out loud,
To hear me sing a gospel song made you so proud.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my nana a couple months ago. She meant everything to me, still does. I came here looking for inspiration for my next poem for class. Thank you for writing...
Nana, you are special.
Your love knows no bounds.
A room takes special warmth whenever you're around.
You think I'm cute and talented and maybe even wise,
Thanks for this poem it is really nice. My Nana's birthday is tomorrow and I wanted a poem for her and I'm glad I chose this site. Thanks again. Also to the writer thank you for writing a...
O Grandma, O Grandma, don't ever give up hope.
All you family and friends are learning to cope.
Please stay strong and never stop praying.
You will get better soon; that's what everyone is saying.
Beautiful poem. I love it. One of my favorite poems on this website.
The way it smells when she cooks.
When you're bad, the way she looks.
How she would do anything to help a friend.
The way she'll stick by you until the end.
Today is my mamaw's birthday and I called to read it to her and she started crying saying it was the most beautiful thing she has ever heard.
You're my earth, you're my world;
you're my moon that circles my world.
You're my moon, you're my star;
you're the one I look upon in the dark.
I love my grandparents a lot. My grandma is unwell now-a-days, she is in the ICU. I wish every single person reading this would please pray for her. I can't imagine my life without her....
I was thinking of love, and you came to mind.
I have many memories I would like to rewind.
Do you remember those days I would lie in your lap
My dad grew up hungry and on a dirt floor. He had to work when he was twelve. He sold ice cream cones to people at the train station. My mother had four siblings and a father who left and...
The funny beautiful lady
That means so much to me
May be gone from the land of the living
But with me she will always be
This is a beautiful poem, about grandma, well now as mothers day is near, I just think of my granny ( nanny as we used to call her ) , my what a lovely, caring, mother / granny she was,...
Who would try to give me all the world
As far as she could see?
Who always has two open arms
This poem reminds me of my only grandchild, Faith. She is my son's daughter and was born when he was only 20 and I was 42 so I was not quite ready to be called "Grandma" yet but I loved...
She picks me up from a fall.
She yells at me when I color on the wall.
She tells me about God and encourages me to pray.
She holds me close and tells me everything's okay.
