Big Mama took care of me with a gentle hand,
Guiding me through life, helping me understand. We'd garden together, her hat upon my head, And Patsy, her dog, always by our side, well-fed. She'd scold me when I did wrong, but never too harsh, And always showed me love, even when I was rash. The rock of our family, a true queen in every way, Her wrinkles and grey hair told tales of a past we'll never say. Yet, in her eyes, I saw a twinkle of laughter and light, And heard stories of old that filled our hearts with delight. We loved spending time together, just being with each other, And I'll always remember Big Mama, my dear great-grandmother. Her legacy lives on in me and in all those she touched, A gentle soul, a strong spirit, she loved us all so much. Thank you, Big Mama, for all the memories we share, I'll always hold you close, with love and care. |
