Lyrical Logic

Grandma.
A title given only to
the greatest women.
Grandma.
A child’s best friend
and their first safe space.
Grandma.
A little girl’s hero
and her confidant.

Without mine,
I wouldn’t be the woman
I am today.
She taught me strength.
She taught me courage.
She taught me hope.
When I had no where else to go,
she was there.

When it’s finally her time
and I get that dreaded call,
my heart will break
unable to correctly heal.

I’m one of the lucky few
who can say
I had my grandma
in the happiest,
and the darkest moments,
and every moment in between.

When I grow up,
she is the woman
I want to be.
