Now she's with her one true love, the beauty that started down here is now up above,
the legacy continues and stretches far, reminding where we came from and who we are.
Making the best from the worst
Seeing the good in the bad,
A bit more of these things I'm sure we wish we all had
From blue hues to rhubarb stews she never turned down a chance to put on her dancing shoes.
Good From the depths of her being And straight to the core,
Time isn't always on our side
And I wish I had more,
With her just say how much she really meant, I know life is beautiful and that's how hers was spent.

- I love you grandma
