She inspired my love of the written word at a very young age and encouraged me to read and create throughout my childhood. She was the mother to me that she never had, because her mother passed away while she was still quite young, and has always been a big supporter of everything I do.
So, of course she responded to my call for poems with this great one below. It was written in honor of my grandmother. Although we never knew her, her memory lives on.
Thanks to Mama

It wouldn’t have happened
If you were not up there floating around
Hovering over me
Making sure I am the best me
Holding out a hand to guide me
Always there to remind me
Who the ultimate guide is
He is my most high
The one that lifts me high
And makes sure when I sigh
It is that of relief
Knowing that the one I belief
Is always very near
You have missed so much
But I know you are up there
She sings just like you
He is calm, just like daddy
The rest are just a mixture
