The Burdens

The burdens you bare, 
will I with you share,
to help you make sense of it all?
I hope you know, I will.

And when you need the one, 
with whom to discuss
your inner most thoughts,
I hope you know I'll be there.

You are a part of me and I of you.
All things good that I am 
have come from you.

You taught me how to smile,
as the beauty of your soul shines through
for all the world to see

You taught me how to laugh,
and know what really matters
and what really does not.


You taught me how to love
the beauty found within,
seen in you by all.

For these gifts I say, Thank you
and I love you Grandma.

Happy Birthday,
