Grammy is 70!
Happy Birthday to Grammy!
We took her out to dinner and she appreciated the firework for her:
In true Grammy fashion, she informed me on Mother's Day that she was expecting another poem, so as "requested", here it is.
A POEM FOR GRAMMY’S 70th BIRTHDAY!
Just a few notes about my mother
Who I’m often told is like no other
She’s stubborn, fun and not a quitter
Even her crazy daughter didn’t make her bitter
To be a grandmother, she didn’t expect
She loves to spoil them, as she can
Her granddaughters are full of love and respect
Many more adventures is their plan
You have to love her
She is a trip
She sticks by you
And will never flip
Nothing keeps her down
She is compassionate and funny
It’s been hard for her to say no
Remember my cats and pet bunny
Grammy is cherished and loved
Full of support, not afraid to defend
She is a force of nature
And remains my closest friend
She offers to clean up when no one else will
Helps those in need with rides or a meal
A treasure to her community
She is the real deal
To say I am grateful is an understatement
She gave me my fire, helped me let go of my wrath
Fought for me against the establishment
And somehow managed to keep me on my path
70 years old, Oh my!
How the time has flown by!
All I can is HOORAY FOR MOM!
For all the years she has kept me calm.
