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.
