I Remember
Christmas 2002
To Mawmaw Ruby: With All My Love
All the things you used to do
Cooking dinner on Sunday
Making homemade stew
Sitting for hours
Telling us tales
Of how poor Jonah
Was swallowed by a whale
Working in your garden
Pulling all the weeds
Wiping sweat from your brow
And gently planting seeds
You are a special Grandmother
One that we adore
You taught us right from wrong
And so very much more.

Mawmaw, I remember
When you would sing a song
You would encourage
Us to all sing along
And you would sit and rock
And read the Bible
While we would pray
I can still see it
As you held it in your hands
Well worn from all your reading
And learning of God's plans
Mawmaw, I remember
Don't worry about me
You taught us all so well
Years ago upon your knee.
