1 hat means so much to me 
iay be gone from the land of the living 
But with me she will always be 
Because my memory holds her dearly 
And my pen recalls her ways 
And most of all I love her 
A love that always stays 
It stays inside my memory 
And is often on my mind 
Because a lady like my Grandma 
Is rare and hard to find.
