Your grand baby
Marykay Anderson 1988 (Sneedville)
Today makes five yrs since u been gone.
Can't believe it's been that long.
I miss the smiles the laughs.
The crys the sad and the bad.
But I wouldn't take any of it back.
A lot has happened I wish u could see,
In just a few months a grand baby
You could see.
Makes me sad to know u won't be here to watch him grow.
To watch him play basketball.
Holler high ye ho!
To see him wear his cowboy boots,
And flirt with the little girls.
I know you would be proud of him.
Your grand baby boy he will be.
Until we meet again,
I will talk of you to him, so he will know who you are.
About this poem
My mother had passed away 5 years before her grandbaby was born. So this poem is dedicated to her. For her grandbaby.
