LAST RESPECTS

My grandmother died

As I held her hand

She is leaving me

To were, I don't know

For her a forever sleep

For me a change in  my destiny

I see her lifeless

As old friends give there last respects

I say good bye grandma

Good bye

GRANDMOTHER'S CHILD

A child, with her grandmothers smile

If you could see

She is her grandmother's child

A three foot shadow

She will start conversations

With whom ever

She has some of her father

Some of her mother

A little of her grandfather

But she looks like her grandmother
