A Proud woman who's fierce devotion brought her family closer.
My Grandmother was my foundation
Her acceptance was unconditional
Her devotion to family without question.
Loyalty and fondness
Permeated from her heart and soul
And ran like a river
across the marbled halls of time.
Her smile was a beacon
Through good times and bad.
Though distance divided us at times
She always returned
Confessing her affection
With hugs that surrounded each of us
In her kindness.
She was fierce.
A lioness bound to protect her brood.
We huddled close
Basking in her attentiveness
And care
Knowing we were her light
Just as she was ours.
Our hearts mimicked her own
We moved out into the world
A part of her with us... always.
She taught us well
And in that teaching
We were made strong and vital.
My grandmother lives on through all of us.
We are her legacy
A Proud legacy
Her name was Annie...
But to me
She was Gramzie.
