Grandma Jean's Love
As long as we hold it with us, we're home sweet home
Our grandma's love is as endless as the waves upon Lake Michigan
It's brighter than the sun on a summer day at Bradford Beach
It's louder than Barney's Happy Tap, her Dad's tavern where she met grandpa
Our grandma's love is more colorful than 5 rolls of wrapping paper she used each year at Christmas
It's taller than Milwaukee's downtown skyline
It's faster than the cars on Good Hope Road
Our grandma's love is wider than the grand finale of fireworks at Noyes Park
It's sweeter than the sugar atop her apple pie
It's deeper than the roots of the pine trees in her backyard
Our grandma's love is happier than 18 birthday parties
It's thicker than a double deck of Rummy 500 cards
It's longer than one of Grandpa's explanations
Our grandma's love is visible everywhere you look
Everywhere you go
She'd never want you to forget
She'd always want you to know.
So, on every adventure, from camping to state fair
She'll be right there
She even said when she's a ghost
She'll play with your hair
Always keep her in heart
Always keep her in your mind
If you forget, take a look around
She made her love so very easy to find.
