Grandparents

 

Both of you have changed my life,

You give me everything I need.

You give me all your love and support,

You helped me to succeed.

You're both such beautiful people,

Inside and out.

I will love you both forever,

For sure, without a doubt.

Sometimes when you look at me,

I know what you are thinking.

You're hoping I wont turn into 

someone who is always drinking.

You're wondering if im happy

And how I feel today,

You're wondering if im struggling,

Like I did back in the day.

I want you both to know,

I am happy and content.

I have food in my fridge 

And I always pay my rent.

I work really hard

With everything I do

I am very proud of who I am

And it is all thanks to you.

I love you both with all my heart

You are everything to me

Its something I never say to you,

Im just hoping that you see.

If you ever worry,

About who I will become,

Just know all my good sides

I took them from my mum.

I am wise and smart enough,

To know what Not to do,

And once again ill say

This is because of both of you.

I want to say thank you

For everything you did,

For everything you do today,

And back when I was a kid.

You're the strongest bravest people,

I'v had throughout my life

I thank god that I have you

Before I sleep each night.

I hope you are both healthy

And keeping eachother strong

Because this is the best family,

In which I could belong.

 

 

 

Lots of love,

Your granddaughter

Big Sal - I love rap! I think my passion of rhyming started from listening to rap at a young age. It's one of my favourite genre's of music if not my favourite. I will have a listen to this song. Thank you!! Xx

I echo Jon's sentiment. Beautiful piece very worthy of preservation.

Here is a link to a song from one very good rapper about his grandparents - you may fancy a listen even if you don't like rap. The song brought tears to my eyes, much like dedication poetry easily does. .?
