Mummy schweppes' Bubbly Nest

My grandmother passed away recently and today (3/11) is her cremation. :gloomy: :sad: Have penned this poem in memory of her.
The Purpose of My Life
Today I mourn my grandmother’s passing
Today I bade her farewell
A wonderful grandmother, mother and wife
Today I celebrated my grandmother’s life
A woman illiterate, and yet
She raised eight children on her own
When grandfather left her widowed forty years ago
One wonders how she took to that blow
And yet she soldiered on
Bringing up her family the best she could
Not a grumble, self-pity or blame of fate
Remaining a pillar of strength for her children’s sake
My grandmother
A woman of substance is she
A woman I like to be
So, we ask
What is the purpose of life?
Who knows what that answer might be
But after today, the answer came clear to me
I want to be the mother that she was
Kind, loving and teaching her children well
When humility, patience and generosity matters more
Values that should remain my core
So, I had asked myself before
What is the purpose of my life?
Who knew then, what my answer should be
But after today, that answer became clear to me
To be like my grandmother
A woman of substance is she
A woman I like to be
I love you, ah ma. May you rest in peace :love: -
