To A Wonderful Grandmother

Ms. Joesphine Garvin is her name
to me it'll never be the same
now that your gone you'll remain in my heart
and nobody can tear that apart

I remember this saying you use to say to me
"Boys and books don't go unless it's the b.i.b.l.e"
and now I can clearly see
exactly what you were trying to tell me

On 12/11/12 you passed away
I cried and cried and cried that day
like I said before it'll never be the same
not seeing my grandma everyday

I know that you're in a much better place now
and I will no longer have a frown
so instead I've decided to smile
because thinking about you, that's all I can do
bye grandma and I will always love you
