For my Grandmother, (that is what she was called as a "flapper") Born June 10, 1907

A woman born so long ago
She's always there, I love her so.
I hold our times together dear
a bright spot through my childhood years.

Such memories of happy days
when going to her house to play.
She'd tell me stories of the past
she brought to me my dreams to last.

I'd sit and swing and listen close
those times are some I treasure most.
She's always there, through thick and thin,
my grandmother, my closest friend.

She cooked a famous apple pie
and crust with sugar baked inside.
She loved to make the sweetest things
she knew about the smiles they'd bring.

This year she will turn ninety four
she's great great Gram to several more.
My own sweet grandchild, loved so much
we now relive the pasts' warm touch.

And when I hug her close to me
I tell her what my Gram has seen.
Her contributions made to us;
the stories come full circle, thus.

Yes the stories do come full circle and they're what families are made of...Closeness of the ties is a wonderful feeling! This is a wonderful tribute to such a precious lady who is 94 yrs young!
