"Grandma"

She's the rock on this earth for many, Shoulder to lean on with no judgement at all,

The calm after a heavy Oklahoma storm on a mid-spring evening.

She's the Sunday morning choir,

The fresh breath of air before the dew dries,

She's the honey the bees searched for at dawn.

She is the staple of many great things left on this earth and will be

forever missed and rightfully honored as days go on.

Her light will continue to shine through the ones she left behind.

We won't be sad as she on the path to forever glory,

meeting the ones she missed so long and our Heavenly Father.

Ruby Lee Quinby
