Grandma, you bring joy and laughter into my world

Your smile is so bright it lights up my world

When I hear your sweet-sounding voice calling my name

I know it’s you right near my trail

When you read me stories and make me snacks

I love to see you dance all day around the peek-a-boo stack

Grandma, you’re a kind, sweet, and honest woman

Who stands strong despite what others may think

You carry yourself with dignity, courage, and pride

Hold on just tight that grandma my life will be just fine

Be sweet and be cool like a baby bumblebee

Fly away not too far so I can be with you, grandma

(In loving memory of Mary Magdalene Pate Howell)
