This poem is about a wonderful lady so dear
If only she could listen and maybe just hear
The things that people love about her just so
She had so many friends but as I recall no foe’s
So down to earth and lovely to behold
There was more to her than just her weight in gold
You were the rock to which everyone turned
Your God helped you through everything you had learned
Though you were happy in all that you did
There was nothing whereby you wanted to get rid
The days seemed always brighter with you around
You were no fool and you were nobody’s clown
You loved playing the piano and organ which you did so well
You were the top of your league and people thought you were swell
You were slow to anger and so rich in love
Your love shined through so richly empowered from above
Peacemaker so thoughtful and so true
There was nothing it seemed, no nothing you couldn’t do
You shined far above others who put you to various tests
Your faith was your stronghold and now is your ultimate rest
Granny Annie you were known by from those far and wide
There was not a soul out there, no, no one you couldn’t abide
You were modest throughout your life for all to see
You deserve to be happy now, and you had everything down to a T.
You were there for everyone’s needs
I remember you wearing your many colourful beads
Dressed always so smartly wherever you went
You were always so happy and more than content
You were a wife, mother, grandmother and friend
You stood alongside everyone right to the end
May you be at peace now my friend so dear
For you are one person to whom I adhered
You were there for all of my needs
You were indeed a friend so rich who sowed so many seeds
I am so honoured to have been a tiny part of your life
Now where you are may there no longer be any pain or strife
