Love
Love of those around you goes deeper than one may know
Love is seeded in the heart and stronger than anything
One love stronger than any you may find is the love of a grandmother
She wipes your tears
She calms your fears
She comforts and loves no matter what
She is a supporter
She kisses the scrapes that you would’ve never gotten if you didn’t convince her “my parents let me do it all the time”
She gives you ginger-ale when you over eat the cookies she made you
She sings you to sleep when you’re homesick after she lets you stay up super late
She puts every drawing on the fridge and your family’s history on the walls
She teaches you how to make cookies and how to swim
She colors with you and reads with you
She goes out of her way to care for
She tells you everything’s okay even when it’s not
She is stern but with a soft loving voice
She is strict in her own sweet nature
She holds you close and leaves lipstick marks on your cheek no matter how old you get
Her lap is always big enough for you
Her heart has no limit it only grows
She adopts so many people
Little kids run around and look to her as their own grandma
She loves Grandpa
She puts him before her
She always takes care of him
Her gentleness smoothes over his sharp edges
She always knows the right thing to do
She always know when something is a little off, when you have the slightest pain in your heart
She knows when it’s sad tears, not allergies.
When it’s a runny nose from a long hard cry and not the sniffles
When tears washed of the mascara and you didn’t just forget to put it on
She knows when you don’t eat because something is bothering you not just an upset stomach
She knows when you are only faking your smile to get by
She shares some of the little tiny movements of life with you
She lets you sit at her feet and eat the peel as it comes of the apple
She takes you on walks and watches you chase butterflies
She laughs when you try to catch a squirrel
She worries when you scurry up a tree like a squirrel
She lets your curiosity soar
She holds your hand and walks you through
She expects you to meet challenges and she knows you’ll succeed even when you believe you’ll fail
She has hopes and dreams beyond what you can imagine yourself
She motivates you
She always sees your better side
She always finds your silver lining
She is forever yours and you are forever her baby
Love your grandmother with all your heart she is the most amazing thing in the world
