By the time <br />I knew grandmother <br />She was no more <br />It took sisteen-years <br />To know <br />Of her pains <br />On that sick bed, <br />My sisteen-year-old <br />Knowingness was shocked <br />To hear mum narrate her past <br />Grandmother as indeed a great <br />Woman n her life time. <br />Each time I go to her grave <br />I break down and cried for her, <br />I wish grandmother saw <br />The best of me <br />Before she was taken to the beyond <br />I know she would be proud of me <br />Let this be <br /> for her, <br />My great grandmother.<br /><br />Efe Benjamin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-for-my-grandmother/
