For Granny



Were I a dove in the skies above
You would be the lifting breeze beneath my wings
Raising me up with your wafting love
Be the voice with which the sparrow sings.

Were I the ocean brine
You’d be the waves come crashing
I, the froth, surfacing from behind
Having cleared a safe path in your splashing

You have been my strength, my power
In all I endeavored to do
You have always made sweet the sour
Always given me courage to go and do

From the beginning moment
to the very last
What would I without you
ever do?
