An honor student through the years
You gave me many joyful tears
My years with you have been so good
I watched you grow to womanhood
You made me a grandma early in life
I hold those memories deep inside
Like sitting together on my porch
Watching the birds we both adored
I know God's blessings to you he sent
Because a gifted child you have been
It's been a treasure to watch you grow
I'm so proud of you, I hope you know
Many awards were given to you
For special work your whole life through
Honesty and truth you always give
By high standards you always live
So I ask the Lord to pave your way
To carry you throughout your days
So when I'm gone to heaven above
Remember, Kayla, your my treasure of love.
