To My Granddaughter

This was written by my grandma and I love it so I'm sharing it :)

Whatever on earth can a grandma be for?
She's older than dirt with one foot out the door.

And what can she know about living today,
When nothing is done in her old fashioned way.

Oh sure, she's real sweet and you love her a lot,
But in terms of real life, what's an ol' grandma got?

Still listen my sweetie, you might be surprised,
To find that your grandma's a youngster disguised.

She still has her dreams and values intact,
She's just a bit wiser, yes dear that's a fact.

Experience has put fine lines on her face,
And that's how she knows what it's like in your place.

I know this idea seems baffling and new,
But Honey, your grandma's "been there, done that" too.

So when your young life isn't going as planned,
Talk to your grandma she'll sure understand.

She's got lots of love and good counsel to give,
And she'll be on your side for as long as you live.
