Grandma Poem by John Sensele

Poor boy you accepted
As suitor, lover and husband
Despite obstacles erected
Wed and wore finger band.

Meagre means you wrote off
In marriage to strive
To hold on and show off
The maturity we derive.

Time thick and thin you've withstood
To start and grow family
And nurture your brood
Slowly but wisely.

Material reward can't
Surpass commitment
And affections that decant
Love to cement your department.
Grace thee soulmate
All weather friend
Lifelong mom and mate
Who sets good example trend.

Year 34 grandma
Is a special milestone to recognize
That Liz is now a mature ma
To show your family is on the rise.

If I should be born again
I wouldn't change
The colour of your family train
Or your care range.

Thank you, Christine
Meet me outside chapel Sistine
To reminisce over the great time
That gave us experience prime.
