Grandmother Poem by Brian Aji

This poem is dedicated to Clementina Louise Aji (1922-2007)

Who watched me every day, when my mom had to work late?
Grandmother, Grandmother.
Who gave me chocolate candy, and watched 'The Honeymooners' with me?
Grandmother, Grandmother.
Who was 'The Chief' for so long, never lead her children wrong?
Grandmother, Grandmother.
Who would say the rosary all the time, and never skip a single line?
Grandmother, Grandmother.
And who would always be there, with an eternal supply of care?
Grandmother, Grandmother.

I know I will see you again, Grandma! It's fate! But for now, I'll just have to wait.


The body of this poem is from a similar poem that appeared on a 1993 'Home Improvement' episode.
