Memories of Grandma

In honor of my dearly beloved grandmother who would have turned 91 tomorrow. She passed away so many years ago but I still miss her deeply.



Memories of Grandma


I went in search of her yesterday
Past that old farmhouse at the corner of town
Memories came flooding from all around
Taking me back to…

Chorus:
Strawberry sundaes from the Dairy Queen
Chocolate milk on the old porch swing
Blackberry picking in our own backyard
Memories of grandma fillin’ my heart

Afternoons watching Gone with the Wind
And every Elvis movie there’s ever been
She would call me sissy, I would call her gram
I remember those…

Chorus:
Strawberry sundaes from the Dairy Queen
Chocolate milk on the old porch swing
Blackberry picking in our own backyard
Memories of grandma fillin’ my heart

She was my strength and my foundation
The woman who taught me to have compassion
If my voice reached heaven she’d hear me say
I miss those days of…

Chorus:
Strawberry sundaes from the Dairy Queen
Chocolate milk on the old porch swing
Blackberry picking in our own backyard
Memories of grandma fillin’ my heart

Unseen Notebooks

Words tucked away
In unseen notebooks
Bares her soul
Where no one sees
Afraid of the truth
And how it's perceived
Vulnerable and defenseless
She quietly sits alone
Reveals her darkest secrets
Records every milestone
With her words tucked away
In unseen notebooks
