about

A song for the grandkids.

lyrics

v1 (Georgia):
Your mother is my hero, the strongest woman I've ever known
Learn everything about her
Take her strength and claim it for your own
But her wicked sense of humor?
I think she got that from me
Her carefree spirit will leave you blowing in the breeze
-----
Take special care when she is sad
Be gentle in her times of need

v2 (Matthew):
Your dad might be the only one who can make me laugh until I start to cry
He's surrounded by the best of friends
Lives a life as big as the wide open sky
And he's smarter than he thinks, though he might not let on
And you're luckier than you know to be his daughter or his son
-----
But be aware when times are tough
He doesn't like to be alone

br (J&J):
Don't forget to call the Jennifers
They'd like to hear from you
They can handle your hurts & heartaches
Everything that you've been through
They helped make you who you are today
Believe me that it's true

v3 (me, etc.):
The Mimis & the Papas, they might be long long gone
And I might be, too, but I love you
That's why I'm sending you this song
-----
And I hope you get the best of what I had to pass down
And in your mind, I hope you find I'll always be around
