My grandma\'s an angel

My grandma is angel now, her wings spread apart....
Today would have been her birthday, and I miss her with all my heart....

She was a very outspoken person, and never held her words back....
She definitely kept everyone on track....

Daily life went on with out a glitch...
Didn\'t behave, you got the switch....

Such a stern woman with a warm lap....
Were I would often lay and take my nap....

She was our Jeckyl and Hyde ...
A balance of discipline and pride....

A big family to raise...
Wasn\'t easy back in the days....

But she kept it together...
One minute hard as a rock, the next soft as a feather....

The smell of hellhounds in the air....
A recipe she didn\'t share...

What I would do to taste one again....
Just a memory of way back when....

I carry her first name because my mother loved her so much...
That woman who was so stern with the gentle touch ....

If I could throw her a birthday party in heaven up above....
I would make her a cake shaped like a dove...

A rainbow streamer, a sunshine banner, tables covered with lace....
Looking across the table and see her smiling face...

Replace her halo with a birthday hat...
And sit upon her lap where I often sat...

Kiss her on the cheek...
And thank her for giving me strength and never letting me be weak....

My gift to her would be....
A look in my heart for her to see just how much she meant to me...
