"my grandma pauline"

grandma pauline with her hair white as snow: when i was a boy, she would follow me every where i would go: she watched me everyday: she was with me when i played: she held me when i would sleep: she wiped my tears when i would weep: she cared for me so: she cheered me up when i was low: my grandma pauline: she said i grew fast as a bean: her hair was snow white: her smile so loving and bright: her love shined on me: and i loved her you see: as she grew old: well her memory started to fold: she just couldnt remember no more: daily little things became a great chore: she would sit and rock all day long: you could hear her mumble along: if you talked to her: she didnt understand you for sure: we moved from the farm,and into town: we had to be close to where a doctor was around: we couldnt keep her at home: sometimes she would roam: she needed nursing care: so we took her there: every weekend we were there: to show our love and care: my grandma pauline: she's the best i have seen: she had to sit in a chair: she needed all the care: she couldnt talk anymore: even little things were a chore: but we still loved her so dear: i wasnt sure if she could hear: we loved her so true: and i know that she felt it too: my grandma pauline: she's the best i have seen: when she died my dad cried,and cried: to comfort him you know that i tried: dad loved pauline so: he was her only child,it really hurt him when she had to go: he loved his mother so dear: all his life he held her near: and now she was gone: it all seemed so wrong: i'll always remember her cheer: and forever in my heart keep her near: jdj---950322:
