"I'll Never Forget You"
  (By Natalie Johnson)

I admire you,
In more ways than one.

And how many
Shared your praise of blissful grace.

I'll never forget
The day I was born,
The smile on your face....
I don't remember seeing it....
I felt it..and still can.

And I remember snuggling with you,
With the quilt you made.

I'll never forget
How you knew everything,
Yet only went to school to the eighth grade.

When you passed,
It hit me so hard.

I couldn't stand to see you,
In all sorts of gray.

But I know I will be with you,
Again someday.

I love you Grandma.
Natalie
