My Grandma: Mimi
Hot buttermilk pie
With grilled cheese sandwiches
Honestly I’d rather die
Than to eat someone else’s
Through thick and thin
You’ve always been there for me.
You took care of your kin
Now it’s my turn. Don’t you agree?
You’d come over and help us cook
Then we’d have a real nice meal
After that you’d dose while reading a book
And soon you’d deep asleep with your baby seal
Alzheimer’s didn’t stop our love
It’s always been me and you.
We fit together like a glove.
Stuck together like glue.
Your disease didn’t hurt me
In fact it’s made me a stronger lady.
It opened up my eyes to see:
Life is about the ride; not the final pay day.
